Phil and Aly have played at many state occasions; a folk singer
opened Holyrood; theMod is on tv; we have two traditional music
institutions for instruction.
Celtic Connection is thriving, though not all trad.

Re what can happen in a session: some years ago I co-ran an informal storytelling club cum session in Glasgow. One evening a visiting friend of a member disappeared into the toilet for a long time, came out in all her sparkling finery and a boombox, and did bellydancing, explaining that in her native Turkey this was a form of storytelling.
Fair play!

So, before this thread disappears below the horizon, who should be the guest on "Songs of Praise" today (BBC 1 1.15.pm)but Barbara Dickson? I found it quite interesting, and the the "journey" throughout the programme started in....Sandy Bell's! No mention of lamentable fiddlers, but one extremely good one did appear, accompanying one of the hymns, namely Paul Anderson.

My father used to go to pubs where there was the Traditional (ubiquitous) piano and the night would evolve into one of the regulars singing along to someone plonking out a tune. He often led the singing and had many a drink given for his performances. He also made a half guinea or two singing at dances on a Saturday night.
Surely this is a tradition that has morphed into what we enjoy now.

Not easy to imagine much overlap between a Songs of Praise playlist and anything you might have heard at Sandy Bells when Barbara Dickson was going there. "Wondrous Love" maybe, though you might need alternative words.

No, they were all hymns, and she spoke at some length about how she had turned to Catholicism, but she did choose one of them because it was « “really good sing”! The programme took her to St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral, Edinburgh, by the end of it.
