Councillor Steve Cardownie, Festivals and Events Champion said:- “Folk Weekender will be a firecracker of traditional music.  Expect an energetic evening, with some foot stompin’ fun, with award-winning artists from the Shetland Isles to Orkney via the Western Isles.  At just £15 per ticket per night, I recommend you check this winning-formula out for yourselves”.

Tom Cannon, Head of Marketing & Sales Operations, Caledonian Brewery said: “This sponsorship is a perfect addition to our portfolio.  Alongside our association with the Fringe, Film Festival, Book Festival and Hogmanay, Deuchars has established itself a real ‘festival’ beer.

“The folk weekender will present a great opportunity for audiences to enjoy Deuchars – a traditional Scottish ale – alongside some of the best young traditional artists in Scotland”.
