THE stories of women who rebelled against societal norms and expectations as told in Scotland’s traditional songs will be explored by singer/songwriter Karine Polwart in the live streamed finale of Edinburgh Tradfest. Polwart will also reflect on the history of misogyny and sexual violence in her inaugural Rebellious Truth lecture. Presented in partnership with the Department of Celtic and Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh, the evening will explore Scotland’s passion for the traditional arts, their history and future, and will mix live performances and presentations from School of Scottish Studies traditional artist in residence Mike Vass, as well as Polwart. The event will be live streamed from St Cecilia’s Hall in Edinburgh on May 10.

Regulations brought in following the UK’s departure from the EU have delayed the export of live shellfish to Europe, causing entire lorry loads of lobsters and langoustines to expire in Scotland’s ports.
Fishing is a relatively small part of the UK’s economy, but fishing rights dominated much of the Brexit negotiations with the European Union. And with the UK free of the EU’s environmental protections, fishing is once more a battleground for competing ideas in marine conservation.
While these debates nearly always concern numbers – catch quotas, stock levels, prices and tariffs – focusing on these quantifiable aspects alone can lead us to overlook the values that keep people fishing in the first place.
