NORTH ATLANTIC SONG CONVENTION 2025

The fourth North Atlantic Song Convention (NASC) is due to take place at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland 11-13 April 2025 (funding dependent). More information will be released in the summer/autumn 2024.  

The convention brings together singers and traditional arts supporters from afar to discuss, learn and share our various song traditions. The convention will host talks, workshops, panels, song circles, concerts, and more.  

This convention supports, encourages and develops three main audiences:
1. Grassroots community and non-professionals.
2. Academics, educationalists and archives.
3. Professional artists and industry. 

NASC is inclusive and very welcoming to everyone interested in learning about and partaking in our singing traditions.  Many of the events are informal and accessible, and all are encouraged to join in and partake in activities.  

NASC 2025 is supported and co-funded by TRACS, Trad Music Forum, Access Folk, and more.
