About the event

Dr Watson will introduce the research and archive-making project, The New Traditional School in Scotland, which she has been leading as an Arts and Humanities Research Council Fellow.  This has explored how in recent times the conventions of tradition have been and are being negotiated by musicians when creating innovative work. She will share some of the considerations involved in developing a new collection of this kind.
