Approaching its 16th year, Showcase Scotland introduces international audiences to new Scottish music. As one of the UK's leading industry events, it aims is to secure performances for Scottish based artists on a global scale – creating new audiences for existing artists and introducing new artists to existing audiences.

“We have a phenomenal wealth of talent in Scotland in traditional, folk and roots music, from every corner of this country. Showcase Scotland gives our artists the chance to play to a global audience, via the representatives who attend this event. As such it is a key part of our showcasing strategy ensuring the best of Scottish musical talent, of all genres, reaches the largest possible audience. ” Ian Smith, Creative Scotland.

Showcase Scotland will run from the 21st - 25th of January in 2015. Delegates are issued with a pass which gains them access to festival shows which feature either Scottish artists, or artists from our international partnering nation. Showcase Scotland offers a ‘Spotlight’ on an international partner each year – in 2014 we have 2; India and Australia as a celebration of the Commonwealth.
