Trad Arts Team news, June 2025

We’ve got dance, we’ve got song, we’ve got music making, we’ve got storytelling and we have been basking in the best early summer that I can remember since I was a child.  Somehow or other things feel better, sound brighter and stir our spirit more when the sun is shining.  But come sunshine or rain we have a programme of events across the city for everyone to enjoy..
