Travelling Folk: Fiona Dalgetty of Feis Rois

Fiona Dalgetty of Feis Rois

BBC Radio Scotland - Travelling Folk, Fiona Dalgetty of Feis Rois

Bruce MacGregor chats to Fiona Dalgetty, Chief Executive of Feis Rois.

Fiona Dalgetty runs Feis Rois based in the Highlands which enables people of all ages to receive tuition in the traditional arts, particularly music.  She was named as one of the top 40 most powerful women in the country by BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour for her contribution to music and the arts.  Many of the musicians we know and love are now working professionally as a result of the tuition they received as young people through the Feis.  And it's down to the tireless work by the likes of Fiona that we have such a thriving scene today.  

Bruce chats to Fiona about her own musical background, her work at Feis Rois and also hears details of a new tune and songwriting competition being launched in the Year of Coasts and Waters.
