Port Fairy Folk Festival presents Postcards From Scotland in virtual concert series

Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Postcards From Scotland was to be the largest ever presentation of Scottish artists in Australia but has been forced to move to digital content throughout 2020.

With a who's who lineup of Scottish artists streaming through the festival's website on Sunday, Port Fairy Folk Festival program director Justin Rudge said the 90-minute concert is a chance for people to discover Scottish folk music.

"We are so proud to be presenting this scenic screening of Scottish music and countryside to our Folkies," he said.

"It is so important to support our artists - both locally and internationally - and to celebrate our Festival's connection to our Scottish community.''

Postcards From Scotland will feature; Blazin' Fiddles, Breabach, Brdghe Chaimbeul, Claire Hastings, Elephant Sessions, Fara, Hannah Rarity, mar, Kinnaris Quintet, Kris Drever, Moishe's Bagel and Fiona Hunter, Niteworks, Ross Ainslie and Ali Hutton, RURA, Ryan Young, Siobhan Miller, Skerryvore and Talisk.

Each artist has recorded a five-minute set featuring conversation and music which will be broadcast alongside with a range of Scottish landmarks as well as familiar faces from the Port Fairy community.

Port Fairy Folk Festival joins premier intentional folk festivals from Cambridge, Denmark, Philadelphia, Borneo and Germany to share this concert extravaganza with its audiences.
