The second week of the festival started with a cast of incredible folk talent breaking boundaries for In the Tradition, a sensational show from emerging talent Cala at Óran Mòr, and an awe-inspiring collaboration between Breabach and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, while Stornoway rockers Peat & Diesel became the first band to ever play the Emirates Arena on Thursday night.

Audiences still have the chance to see a number of groundbreaking performances including Scottish-Palestinian showBethlehem Calling at Tramway this evening, the 25th Anniversary of folk greats Malinky, a Burns Celebration at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, and much more.
