WHAT IS THE CEILIDH TRAIL?Thòisich Fèis Rois am prògram soirbheachail againn le Cèilidh air Chuairt ann an Siorrachd Rois ann an 2000. Às dèidh dha mar a shoirbhich leis a’ Chèilidh air Chuairt ann an Siorrachd Rois, thòisich Fèis Rois Cèilidh Nàiseanta air Chuairt airson Alba ann an 2012. Tha am pròiseact seo air a dhol bho neart gu neart bhon uair sin, agus tha e a’ toirt chothroman do luchd-ciùil òga bho air feadh Alba a bhith a’ cluich ann an àiteachan fad is farsaing san dùthaich. 

Tha tòrr luchd-ciùil a ghabh pàirt sa Chèilidh air Chuairt aig Fèis Rois a-nis ag obair ann an gnìomhachas ciùil na h-Alba far a bheil iad air cliù nach beag a chosnadh dhaibh fhèin. Nam measg tha Fraya Thomsen, Mairearad Green, Innes White agus Rachel Newton.

Taking place from 22nd July to 17th August, the Ceilidh Trail provides visitors to Scotland with the opportunity to experience authentic traditional Scottish music in a wide range of settings. We invite you to come and join us for a ceilidh dance in a village hall, a concert at a historic site, or a performance in one of Scotland’s leading theatres. You will hear beautifully crafted songs in both the Gaelic and

Scots languages and lively folk tunes played on fiddles, accordions and other traditional musical instruments. Why not join us in some of Scotland’s finest pubs and restaurants for an informal music session during the peak tourist season in July and August?

Fifteen outstanding young musicians from across Scotland have auditioned for a paid summer job touring on the Fèis Rois Ceilidh Trail. These young people are aged between 16 and 25 and many of them are studying at some of the country’s leading music schools, including the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the University of the Highlands and Islands. This project provides a professional development opportunity and a stepping stone between studying and launching a career as a performing artist.

In addition to almost 100 performances in Scotland, the superb young musicians on the Fèis Rois Ceilidh Trail have been invited to showcase at Cambridge Folk Festival (August 1st-4th), Sidmouth Folk Festival (August 2nd-9th), and Festival Interceltique de Lorient (August 2nd - 11th).

CAMBRIDGE FOLK FESTIVAL: August 1st-4thCambridge Folk Festival, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014, is one of the premier music events in Europe and one of the longest running and most famous folk festivals in the world. Held each year since 1965 in the beautiful setting of Cherry Hinton Hall, it attracts around 14,000 people, many of whom return year after year. 

Fèis Rois has played a key role in the Scotland at Cambridge showcase for many years and last year marked 10 years of this hugely successful partnership. 

The Ceilidh Trail musicians representing Fèis Rois at Cambridge in 2019 will take part in the following:

• A Fèis Rois showcase in the Club Tent 

• A short appearance in Brian McNeill’s Festival Session on Stage 2  

• Leading a late night acoustic session in The Hub Tent 

Find full details in the Cambridge Folk festival programme. 

www.cambridgelivetrust.co.uk /folk-festival

FESTIVALS AND PARTNERSHIPSCollaboration is at the heart of all Fèis Rois projects, and the success of The Ceilidh Trail is in no small part down to the many strong relationships we have built since 2000 with festivals, businesses and government agencies.

In 2019, we are delighted to be returning to the Tartan Heart Festival at Belladrum. We also continue to develop our work with Scottish Natural Heritage, and our Ceilidh Trail musicians will perform at seven of Scotland’s National Nature Reserves (NNRs).

Some highlights for 2019 include:

• At home in the Highlands: working with our friends at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness to offer local people and visitors the chance to experience high quality traditional music at Under Canvas – a new pop-up bar with music on the banks of the River Ness.

• In the UK: we are delighted to return to both Cambridge Folk Festival at Sidmouth Folk Week, two longstanding highlights of the Ceilidh Trail.

• In Europe: Fèis Rois has again been invited to host the Scottish Pavilion at the acclaimed Festival Interceltique de Lorient, where we will showcase emerging artists from Scotland including our very own Ceilidh Trail.

Fèis Rois will showcase established and emerging bands with a focus on Gaelic speaking artists.
