Scottish traditional music has been through a successful revival in
the mid-twentieth century and has now entered a professionalised
and public space. Devolution in the UK and the surge of political
debate surrounding the independence referendum in Scotland in 2014
led to a greater scrutiny of regional and national identities
within the UK, set within the wider context of cultural
globalisation. This volume brings together a range of authors that
sets out to explore the increasingly plural and complex notions of
Scotland, as performed in and through traditional music.
Traditional music has played an increasingly prominent role in the
public life of Scotland, mirrored in other Anglo-American
traditions. This collection principally explores this movement from
historically text-bound musical authenticity towards more transient
sonic identities that are blurring established musical genres and
the meaning of what constitutes 'traditional' music today. The
volume therefore provides a cohesive set of perspectives on how
traditional music performs Scottishness at this crucial moment in
the public life of an increasingly (dis)United Kingdom.
