This (below) is a quote lifted from Footstompin.com, and it's for a worthwhile cause. Please take the time to read it, please sign the petition, and help support our musical culture's future. Thanks.
"In light of recent funding cuts by the Scottish Arts Council, the TMSA feels it is time for all of us to stand up for what we stand for! So we’re starting a campaign and we hope you will all help us to get our point across to the ‘powers that be’.
We all enjoy going along to concerts and listening to some of the wonderfully talented musicians and singers who bring our many and varied traditions alive. However, the TMSA believes that traditional music and song is about more than that. It’s about a shared inheritance and an unspoken need for everyone and anyone to participate in our own diverse Scottish cultures.
The TSMA believes that grassroots participation in traditional music and song is fundamental to the culture of Scotland. The few traditional music stars would not have arisen without the core foundation of the many taking part for the love of the genre."
