TMSA

The TMSA was established in 1966 to promote, present and preserve the traditional music and song heritage of Scotland.
It is the oldest (by nearly 20 years) individual membership organisation associated with traditional music and song, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2006. There are currently 1000 members.
It was the first organisation to run major traditional music festivals as we know them today, starting at Blairgowrie and then moving to Kinross, followed by Kirriemuir and Auchtermuchty.
It is a strong advocate and promoter of our native traditions in music and song and, possessing a huge knowledge reservoir, is a point of contact for any external bodies seeking advice and information.
The organisation actively promotes Scottish traditional music by running festivals, ceilidhs, concerts, workshops, tours and competitions, and helps to create an environment in which old and new interpretations of traditional music and song can flourish.
