Music education in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has been at the forefront of Scottish classical, folk, pop, and punk scenes for many years. It is home to Scotland's oldest concert venue, St. Cecilia Hall which took classical music out of private venues and opened it to the public in the late 18th century. The Ceilidh Folk Festival, held in 1951 at the Oddfellows Hall (now McSurrells), is recognized as an event that has begun to revive English traditional music. Edinburgh's most important musicians include Davey John Stone, Shirley Manson, Paddy Milner, Vistas, Steve Manson, Unicorn Kid, and more. The Edinburgh International Music Festival is also held annually in this city, which is one of the most important music festivals in the United Kingdom.
