The World’s Room in Aberdeen

The world’s room has been an established part of traditional song in Edinburgh for many years, showcasing the talents of the finest traditional singers in the UK. Aberdeen Branch of the Traditional Music and Song Association are delighted to host The World’s Room in Aberdeen on Friday the 9th of September. This is the second event in Aberdeen and we plan to follow in the footsteps of The World’s Room in Edinburgh in bringing the finest traditional singers from Scotland and whole of the UK to perform. We are looking host these 3 or 4 times per year.

The format of these evenings is the guest singer opening and closing each half with a song from several of the attendees in between, this leads to a fine mix of song and a feeling of everyone being involved in the evening entertainment.

On this occasion we are delighted to have as our guest Steve Byrne. Steve Byrne hails from Arbroath in Angus. He is best known for his work with award-winning Scots folksong band Malinky. In 2019, Steve was voted Scots Singer of the Year in the Scots Trad Music Awards.

The event will be held at the Airyhall Community Centre, Countesswells Rd, Aberdeen AB15 8AD at 8.30pm with the doors open from 8pm. Entry is £7 paid at the door on the night. Bring your own refreshments.
