About Me

We present a weekly traditional music show, every Wednesday on Cuillin FM on the Isle of Skye. We are also celtic musicians who have "treaded the boards" for quite a while, and host a regular music session in Portree. We would be happy to hear from any trad/celtic musicians/bands wishing to promote their music in the Highlands.
