Mick West (www.mickwestband.com) is widely considered to be one of the foremost exponents of Scottish traditional song. He has recorded extensively with the Mick West Band & also on Linn Records classic 'Songs of Robert Burns' series. He is a popular festival performer & has toured widely in Europe, Russia & Japan.

This will be very much a 'learning by doing' day suited to those who like a good sing.
The workshop will cover sources of traditional Scots song and the social and economic background to them. However, the emphasis will be on singing and participants should go home with some new and enjoyable songs in their repertoire.
