For the final meeting of the season, we opened up the doors and invited folks we don’t get the opportunity to play with too often! We also took time to recognize our graduation senior, Sam Laurin- who will be off to Stanford this fall!
The NW Scottish Fiddlers performed for an enthusiastic crowd of all ages on Saturday, April 18th. The club offered up rousing sets, along with members of the club with their own groups: “Hot Cider”, The Cummings Family, The Youth Band, and soloist, Vienna.
Thanks to Calvin Presbyterian church for hosting us! Thanks to the amazing teamwork of all that helped out before, during, and after the show! Each and every one of the fiddlers/musicians made it work with the “can do” attitude the day of the concert- volunteering for any job that came along, not to mention practice, practice, practice! What a team!
Thank you Andrew Snoey, for the pictures!

Many thanks to our phenomenal instructors, Alasdair Fraser, and Natalie Haas, for a great weekend of learning, and a memorable set of tunes! Many thanks to the planning committee of the board for their dedication and hard work! Survey results from 39 of the 102 participants also showed overwhelming satisfaction with the workshop. We have some new ideas, we know where we can still improve, and, we’ll keep doing what we do best! We are already looking forward to next year!
