Blethers - a Scottish term meaning "chatters"
Shared by a colleague on the Traditional Music course, our trad music musos will be glad to see that TRACS (Traditional Arts & Culture Scotland) publishes their "Blethers" newsletter online in spring and autumn. It aims to showcase projects and initiatives by traditional artists across Scotland and further afield.

Because we're kind and generous folk at the Whittaker Library, we've also put the link on our library portal so that RCS staff and students will be able to find it again when they need it! Visit the library pages, and look for Subject Gateways > Music.
(The RCS portal is only accessible to our staff and students, and is password protected.)
