Edinburgh In-Person Event: Queer Voices in Folk (with Fredy Clue & Bogha-Frois)

Join The BIT CollectiveBogha-Frois and Fredy Clue in Edinburgh on Wednesday 3rd May, 6-8pm, at Edinburgh Quaker Meeting House (The Meeting Room) to learn about Sweden's first non-binary folk dress and participate in a conversation on queer voices in folk and traditional music and arts. 

The BIT Collective are delighted to be hosting this event in partnership with Bogha-Frois, and to welcome Fredy Clue (she/he/they), nyckelharpa playing musician, organiser and project leader from Sweden. Fredy will be kickstarting this event with a presentation about their well-known project Bäckadräkten - Sweden's first non-binary folk costume. Following this, there will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions about the project, leading into an open discussion of queer voices in folk more broadly, hosted by Pedro Cameron (Man of the Minch & founding member of Bogha-Frois). Bring your instruments and voices - we will round off the event with some tunes and songs!
