SESSIONS AND GIGS
NEXT BEAULY SLOW SESSION for folk instruments is SUNDAY AUGUST 16th
Future session dates:
September 20th
October 11th
November 15th
December 6th (with Christmas arrangements!)
Message me for the complete collection of session tunes, fully bowed, with chords, as PDF files. There is a new set added every month and so the collection is growing and now lasts for around three hours! We play tunes from far and wide but with an emphasis on Orkney and Shetland.
This costs £20 up front if you have not had the music before, which is your first session paid for - after that you can just turn up and pay £20 on the day.
The music is therefore free if you attend, but I have had people who took the music and did not come to the session so this helps to avoid that.

If you are intermediate level, our existing Beauly Fiddlers class runs on 30 Saturdays per year between 10am - 12pm. Many players at the session have come up through this class.
Beginners can join my 12pm class which runs for an hour. This is for fiddlers with a small amount of experience - months rather than years.
See the lessons page for details of these classes.

Tuesday 3rd December - The Beauly Fiddlers! Collecting for Cash For Kids.
Concert coming up in Inverness Cathedral - come along at 3pm on Sunday 28th April for tea, coffee and home baking, followed by an hour of music.
We are starting with Fiona Driver and Jackie Baxter, playing Scottish music from 1700s and 1800s on fiddle and cello, and then a group of Fiona's pupils will play a selection of more modern fiddle music from Scotland, Ireland, America, Scandinavia and Orkney.
Fiona will accompany them on guitar, and there will also be a guest violist joining them for this performance.
Pay at the door on the day - and bring your friends for a lovely afternoon of yummy baking and fabulous fiddling!
