Celtic Connections Lau-Land: Panel Discussion: How Does a Traditional Form Evolve?

What is the difference between “traditional” and “conservative”? What makes folk music relevant to the 21st century and how does it fit with increased urban living? What part does it play in changing ideas of national identity?

These and other questions will be explored by a panel of leading folk musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England, including Cormac Begley, Eliza Carthy, Kris Drever, Siobhan Miller, Aidan O’Rourke and Karine Polwart. Hosted by Martin Green.
