This year, our Trad Concert returns to the Heritage Centre for an evening of traditional songs and instrumentals.

When the lights are dimmed, and melodic medleys fill out every nook and cranny of this fantastic venue, prepare to be captivated and thrown back to more “traditional” times.

Argyll-Ceilidh-Trail-2024

Argyll Ceilidh Trail

The Argyll Ceilidh Trail is a group of young, up-and-coming musicians showcasing their music across Argyll. The musicians will be on the road for four weeks prior to the festival, visiting Inveraray, Arran, Mull, Tiree and Oban and we are delighted to have them perform at this year’s Traditional Concert. 

The Ceilidh Trail musicians have wowed the Friday and Saturday night audiences for the past two years so we can’t wait to hear what they have in store for us this year

Karen Matheson Band

Karen Matheson who was born in Taynuilt in Argyll and is widely recognised as the compelling vocals of Scots band Capercaillie with whom she has graced the pop charts and featured in blockbuster movies.  Her solo career highlights have included performing at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where her stunning rendition of ‘Ae fond kiss’ stole the show to a televised audience of over 600 million people. 

Karen has been involved in various high-profile projects of collaboration worldwide, including the award-winning BBC series Transatlantic Sessions.  She has released five acclaimed solo albums including the award-winning acoustic album “Downriver” with Ireland’s legendary producer Donal Lunny, which provided the perfect platform for her mesmerizing vocals.
