Matt Golinski will cater this year’s tribute to Scotland with an Australian take on a Scottish feast. Angus beef, tatties, neeps, whisky sauce and treacle tarts are on the menu, there’ may even be a little mackerel/sardine in there too. No Scottish feast would be complete without haggis, supplied by local suppliers Maleny Black Angus Beef. Bring your best tartan, and take a taste trip to Scotland via your palate.

Traditional Scots Song
Learn songs from the treasure trove of traditional Scots material, from working songs to love songs, to the songs of Robert Burns and the muckle ballads (big story songs). This workshop will also explore the traditional style through recordings of tradition bearers, and discuss the use of Scots language and the meaning of the songs themselves. The sang’s the thing!
