BBC Radio Scotland - Travelling Folk, Tiree Music Festival and Mari Kalkun in session

Stewart MacLennan on the 10th anniversary of Tiree Music Festival, and Mari Kalkun.

Bruce chats to festival director Stewart MacLennan about the 10th anniversary of the Tiree Music Festival, and Estonian singer and multi-instrumentalist Mari Kalkun is in session.

As the Tiree Music Festival gears up to celebrate its 10th Anniversary next weekend, Festival Director and Co-Founder Stewart MacLennan joins Bruce to look back at how the festival has grown over the past decade.

Although Celtic Connections may seem like a distant memory for many of us now, we have a stunning session from one of this year’s guests, Mari Kalkun. From Southern Estonia, Mari is a musician, singer and composer who is very much influenced by her Estonian roots. Many of her compositions are inspired by nature and Estonian folk music and poetry. She is a most talented multi-instrumentalist playing, piano, accordion, guitar, pipes, whistles and, in this session, the impressive Kannel.
