Trad Arts Team

2025 already.  Can it be possible that it was 25 years ago that we held our Millennium Ceilidh in Moseley and I know that some of you will have been there.  So, a quarter of a century later here’s to the New Year and everything that is coming to us – so long as it includes traditional entertainment in some form.
