Using Recordings and Archive Materials

SISF Conversation with Steve Byrne

(Thu 23 Oct: 10:30am - SOLD OUT)

Scotland’s storytelling tradition has been nurtured by decades of fieldwork by folklorists, capturing the wealth of our intangible cultural heritage and bridging the gap between the past, present, and future.

In this engaging and hands-on workshop, storytellers will learn how to explore, interpret, and creatively incorporate sound archives and field recordings into their craft. We’ll also delve into ethical considerations for sourcing and acknowledging materials, honouring the voices of our forebears with respect and care, ensuring the tradition thrives for generations to come. With TRACS CEO Steve Byrne.

The Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025 tracks a rich northern arc which bridges Finland to Iceland, and connects Germany to Norway, with Scotland a sea road junction in the middle. Don’t miss out on the tales and music or the close experience of nature. As winter gathers round the hearth fires, look north to join the merry dancers in the sky!
