A bumper-explosive night of top-Scottish talent, featuring five contrasting acts at the forefront of the current Celtic scene.

Shooglenifty lead the folk-fusion pack, cooking up tunes borrowed from a wide swathe of world traditions with influences as diverse as prog rock and urban breakbeats.

Highland sextet Dàimh alternate blistering pipes 'n' fiddle-led instrumentals with spellbinding Gaelic songs, while Stereocanto is a new jazz/folk combo led by the mighty musical mind of Fraser Fifield, featuring his saxophone, bagpipes and whistles alongside fiddle, vocals, drums, bass and guitar.

Completing the line-up will be The Anna Massie Band and Emily Smith who have established themselves as some of Scotland's finest young talent.
