Bruce chats to Jenn Butterworth about her project Karafolkie & Gary West tells him about an online event this weekend celebrating Edinburgh Uni's School of Scottish Studies Archive

Jenn Butterworth is one of the most sought after accompanists in the UK trad music scene. She has been busy in lockdown coming up with an amazing new trad music practice resource. Housing high quality guitar backing tracks at a range of speeds from a huge list of contemporary and traditional tunes, Karafolkie is for beginners starting out and those looking to push themselves further as an advanced player alike. Bruce finds out more about the new website launching soon!
