Don't miss these events with Feis Rois - keep live traditional music alive. 

We have had a wonderful start to our 25th anniversary year with a very special concert at Celtic Connections on Saturday 22nd January. We were delighted to bring together 25 musicians who, between them, represented the 25 years of Fèis Rois. If you missed the concert, we will be doing it all again in the Highlands to close our anniversary year in Eden Court Theatre on Friday 11th November.

We are gearing up for our first ever Gaelic-medium Fèis this weekend. Fèis Rois nan Oileanach Gàidhlig is open to Gaelic-speaking university students and it takes place in Ullapool from 18 - 20 February with tutors Julie Fowlis, Mary Smith and Sandra Robertson.
