Episode Details

Scotland is launching a new National Performing Company dedicated to traditional music, aiming to give it the same global stage as Scotland’s major arts institutions. Backed by First Minister John Swinney’s 100-day pledge for cultural progress, the initiative kicks off with public consultations — inviting musicians and citizens to shape its vision. With deep public support and a booming £27 million economy tied to traditional music last year, this move seeks to preserve Scotland’s rich heritage while boosting its cultural and economic future. The First Minister calls on all local music stakeholders to contribute, ensuring the company truly reflects Scotland’s musical soul.
