The Traditional Music Forum's vision is 'the traditional arts as a vital and visible element of Scottish culture, valued by people, communities and the nation'.  Trad Talk this year looks at practical ways in which the traditional arts can move (or are already moving) into the cultural mainstream in Scotland, and how we can can learn from these.
