The BIG Session with the Cape Breton Fiddlers

Location: Glasgow University Mens Union Debating Chamber

Time: All Day

Come and join us when 80 fiddlers called the Cape Breton Fiddlers and members of the Glasgow Fiddle Workshop join in sharing some tunes. It's a night off for these fiddlers who have travelled across the Atlantic Ocean to tour Scotland, so we organised an informal social occasion where they could meet other fiddlers from Scotland and hear the kinds of tunes we play and in return, play us some of their tunes. Ages range from high school to retired. This will be a very informal night and any instrument is welcome. There will be a Cape Breton pianist and people who can step dance as well. You don't have to play, just come along, enjoy some lively music and show them some good old Scottish hospitality. There will be a nominal entry fee and a bar. Please contact the office on 0141 331 0606 for further details.
