Professional Development Opportunities for Traditional Musicians
We’re excited to launch our Workshops Programme Autumn 2025 – a series of practical, industry-focused sessions designed to equip you with the essential knowledge and skills for your career as a self-employed traditional musician.
Following the success of our 2024 pilot in Glasgow and Edinburgh, we’re expanding! This year, you can join us not only in Glasgow and Edinburgh, but also in Inverness and Aberdeen.
From recording and releasing your music, to writing successful funding applications, planning tours, and managing your finances – our workshops are designed to help you succeed in the traditional music landscape today.
