14th July (evening) 2018 at His Majesty's Theatre, Aberdeen (Gala Celebration of the Fiddle).
With this concert NAFCo presented itself to the general public with a selection of performers from the festival. As I has already taken photos of most of them at other events, I include here only some I was seeing for the first time and the finale which brought everyone together.

Country: Britain - Scotland & others. Style: Scottish Traditional Folk.
Lineup: Patsy Reid (fiddle/leader) & many musicians.
Over the five days of NAFCo there was a Youth Fiddle Camp for musicians (not just fiddlers) aged 10-25. It was led by Patsy Reid, who I have photographed several times before - with her own group, VAMM, etc. (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/jpatsyreid,-northa...). Her contribution included teaching them a composition of her own, specially commissioned for this NAFCo. Their week climaxed with this appearance at the Gala concert and at the "Final Stramash" which closed the festival.
