The BIT Collective & Chloe Matharu: Taking Action on Ethnic Diversity in Scottish Traditional Music

Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87835008181?pwd=b1VmUTNyK0JVWFNyeVFXTEpTVzY5Zz09

Last November, we held a conversation on ethnic diversity in Scottish Folk and Traditional Music, hosted by singer-songwriter Joanie Bones. The conversation explored people’s experiences of being part of an ethnic minority in a scene largely dominated by white men.

It was a very fruitful discussion, and we covered a lot, but we decided it would be useful to have another around the same topic only this time looking to the future, and what we can do as a community and sector to take action towards making Scottish folk and traditional music more inclusive to people of colour and ethnic minorities.

Join us for a conversation about what kinds of action we can take!

The conversation will be hosted by Chloe Matharu, and take place on Zoom from 7.30-8.30pm on 18th October. Automatic closed captions will be turned on, and the session will be recorded for safeguarding purposes. All recordings will be deleted after 30 days.
