MUSIC NEWS Scotland was born over 9 years ago when dial up broadband was still around and desktop pc’s ruled. So we did what had been done since 220 AD in China and every month put ink on a printing plate, ran some paper over it and hey presto MNS was published (okay it was a wee bit more involved than that, but the basic principle was the same!)

Move on to 2011 with high speed broadband and access to the www everywhere and the future was catching up with us rapidly. The volume of information flowing into MNS HQ was more than our monthly issue could cope with, and more and more Scottish music stories of great value were being spiked (an old press term not a dodgy drink). Reaching our vast number of readers in every conceivable nook and cranny of Scotland has always been a challenge monthly but to do that more often was physically not feasible. So we have doffed oor tam o’ shanter to the future and MNS is now a weekly digital publication, and not only weekly now but twice the number of pages than our old printed friend! Along with our weekly GIGguide and FESTIVALS! supplement we are now producing 72 pages of Scottish music news (and only music news) each and EVERY week:)

We remain as true as ever to our launch roots of 8 years ago though - MUSIC NEWS Scotland supports all Scottish bands and performers no matter what style of music you’re involved in. Our aim is to circulate music industry news and to help to raise the profile of musicians and improve communications between genres. To help achieve this copies of MUSIC NEWS Scotland are emailed to key industry contacts throughout the UK. As the only 100% music publication in Scotland which is dedicated to covering ALL genres we can offer unique access to our country’s musical community from the Scottish Borders to Shetland

Thank you for your support over the last 8 years and please raise a glass to our digital future with you all. Thanks for your support,

The MNS team!

Yesterday we announced the Edinburgh Tradfest 2025 opening weekend, and today we're going to canter through the first few weekdays, which are also LIVE and BOOKABLE now! 🔥🎵

The week begins with Finnish power-fiddle duo Teho on Monday 5 May, who play with 'passion and precision', before our 2025 Festival Commission - For the Love of Trees. 🌳 Legendary harpist, singer and composer Mary Macmaster has compiled a brand new show with songs and tunes, old and new, celebrating our arboreal protectors. Joining Mary for this special performance are: Amy Macdougall (vocals), Donald Hay (percussion), Mairearad Green (accordion, pipes), Pete Harvey (cello) and Ciaran Ryan (banjo/fiddle).

Tuesday 6th yet again proves fun can be had on a school night - Morag Brown and Lewis Powell-Reid's rich repetoire is the perfect way to relax into the evening, before kicking things up a notch with The Hot Seats They draw on a lot of Americana styles – old time, bluegrass, ragtime and country – and give them their own special twist.

Aaaand finally (for now), on Wednesday 7 May we'll be joined by The Travelling Janes at 6:30PM: a fresh project looking at old folk songs from the USA, Canada and British Isles. Then at 8:15PM we welcome Beth Malcolm - who in Dec 2024 won Scots Singer Of The Year for the second time - and will wow audiences with multi-media performance FOLKMOSIS.

🟡 More info and tickets: https://edinburghtradfest.com/ Remember that if you book more than one show at the Traverse on the same day, you get 10% off your tickets.

🙏 Edinburgh Tradfest is possible thanks to support from the National Lottery through Creative Scotland and the William Grant Foundation.

Over 1,900 artists and music professionals have come together to sign Scottish Music Industry Association Open Letter on the Culture Funding Crisis: https://www.smia.org.uk/cultural-funding-crisis/ The letter is being sent today – Creative Scotland Open Fund for Individuals is now closed. We urge the Scottish Government to immediately reinstate Creative Scotland’s Open Fund for Individuals and Youth Music Funds, and confirm the planned £25 million increase in cultural funding for 2025 will be secured by the start of the new financial year (1 April 2025). Culture funding is essential. #NoArtWithoutArtists John Swinney MSP The Scottish Government Angus Robertson for Edinburgh Central
