TRADITIONAL MUSIC & SONG ASSOCIATION of SCOTLAND

Patrons: Aly Bain MBE, Billy Connolly, Barbara Dickson, Evelyn Glennie OBE

Join us and help promote the traditional arts of Scotland

The Traditional Music and Song Association of Scotland (TMSA) exists to promote the traditional music and song of Scotland. Members include festival goers, singers, musicians, publishers, organisers, tutors and people with an interest in the traditional culture of Scotland. Affiliated members include festivals and other like minded organisations.

Members receive a regular newsletter, festival calendar and also benefit from advance notice of events and reduced ticket prices at many TMSA organised concerts and ceilidhs.

Locally, the TMSA operates through 9 branches across Scotland. Keith and Angus (Kirriemuir) and Auchtermuchtv branches organise annual festivals, other branches promote regular ceilidhs, singarounds and other events.

Nationally, the TMSA works to ensure that traditional music and song are given the highest profile. The national office is in Edinburgh and this is the base for the national organiser and admin assistant. We run events, workshops, tutor training, produce information leaflets and other publications.
