Multi-instrumentalist Anna Massie is one of Scotland’s most renowned traditional musicians, known for her work with Blazin Fiddles, RANT and Mairead Green among others. We were able to sit down together for a chat during a busy weekend at the Førde International Folk Music Festival this summer. We talk about her musical background, her guitar style and views on different tunings, her work with Blazin Fiddles, the state of the Scottish trad scene, and decided ones and for all what is and isn’t folk music!
