This June will see some of the top rising stars in Scotland's traditional music scene taking on the biggest artist in the world, with a local festival colliding with Taylor Swift's Edinburgh concerts.
Some of the most talented emerging musicians in Scotland will take on Taylor Swift this June as an upcoming traditional music festival is set to collide with the superstar's sold-out Edinburgh concerts.
"Scotland is such a small country, so you do worry that the audience can get swallowed up when you're up against someone as big as Taylor Swift with a capacity of 220k people. But traditional music has this strong, dedicated following and community around it — so I'm sure the Traddies will be out in force, just like the Swifties."
