Ellen MacDonald of Sian and Dàimh said: “It’s a joy to be joining such an incredible group of musicians on the line up for this exciting new festival. To see such a strong representation of females on the Scottish music scene is particularly heartening. The Reeling is definitely a festival that both musicians and audiences can get excited about, and we can’t wait to be a part of it.”
Martin Gillespie of Skerryvore said: “We couldn’t be happier to be a part of the first ever The Reeling. That there is such demand for a festival like this in Glasgow shows the strength of the Scottish folk music scene at the moment — it’s a joy to see, and we can’t wait to bring the party to Rouken Glen Park this summer!”
