As part of its 21st birthday celebrations, Fèis Rois, who run a dynamic year round programme of traditional music, song and dance, are once again taking their show on the road with their innovative Ceilidh Trail programme.

Now running for its seventh year, the Fèis Rois Ceilidh Trail consist of a group of ten young up-and-coming musicians who are all from the area, brought together for one week of intensive training with some of Scotland's most celebrated musicians, then going on to three weeks of gigging all around the area.

This year's participants are Angus Binnie (pipes, whistles), Roya MacLean (accordion), Catriona Ramsay (fiddle), Douglas Kane (fiddle, pipes), Fiona Black (accordion, fiddle, flute), Sheena Amos (whistles, flute), Lisa Moyes (fiddle), Ewan Hemingway (keyboards, fiddle) and Matheu Watson (fiddle, whistles, guitar). They will be joined by Guitarist, piper and mandola player Colin Gordon, who is also co-ordinating the project.
