The Carrying Stream Festival will commence with an opening session at The Canons Gait in Edinburgh's Old Town. This event will feature an evening of traditional tunes, welcoming instrumentalists of all levels to participate in the session. Attendees can also enjoy the atmosphere by listening to the music, which includes Scottish, English, Irish, and Scandinavian repertoire.
For centuries people have played tunes in pubs, and that tradition continues in villages, towns, and cities across Scotland. What better way to start the Carrying Stream Festival than in a pub in Edinburgh’s Old Town for an evening filled with tunes? The Canons' Gait Wednesday Session happens regularly throughout the year. Tonight the regulars particularly welcome any instrumentalists to their session. The repertoire is mainly traditional Scottish, but with some English, Irish, Scandinavian and more. Players of all levels can take part, but you are also welcome to just watch, listen and soak up the atmosphere!
