Christmas Eve with Travelling Folk

Bruce MacGregor hosts an evening of fantastic tunes and craic this Christmas Eve - joined by a first class line-up of musical guests for a festive session.

At the end of a most remarkable year, Travelling Folk celebrates being able to come together and play music this Christmas Eve!

The Christmas party has to be somewhat different this year; but that won't stop the fun! Bruce MacGregor hosts a socially-distanced festive session from BBC Aberdeen, complete with mince pies and hand sanitiser!

Bruce forms the house band with Anna Massie & Angus Lyon and they're joined by Megan Henderson & Ewan Robertson from the multi award-winning group Breabach plus Aberdeenshire Scots singer and Young Trad 2020 finalist, Calum McIlroy. Two hours of incredible tunes and craic from some first class musicians!
