"Cambridge Folk festival has always been such a significant event for
Scotland's music, giving a platform to so many of our fantastic
musicians, from the late great Martyn Bennett to such Cambridge
favourites as Shooglenifty, Capercaillie and Blazin' Fiddles. Cambridge
has always promoted emerging talent, both in the Club Tent and through
the workshop programme and we are absolutely delighted to be supporting
the festival in 2008." Ian Smith, Head of
Music at the Scottish Arts Council
"Cambridge Folk Festival are very grateful for the generous support
of the Scottish Arts Council, who are the first arts organisation to
become official partners of the Festival. For many years the wealth of
talent from Scotland has been an important part of the Festival's
programme. This Scottish Showcase is intended to put the spotlight on
some of this brilliant music and I hope it will bring significant
benefits to the artists involved." Eddie
Barcan, Folk Festival Manager
