Beginner/Intermediate Orkney Fiddle Workshop with Jennifer Wrigley – open to all ages. Absolute beginners welcome to take part/listen. Players of instruments other than fiddle also welcome if of an intermediate level of ability.

All welcome to this fun and relaxed workshop focussing on traditional fiddle. This fiddle workshop is open to fiddlers of all levels (beginning to advanced). We will start with a brief overview of fiddling, its stylistic elements, and its history with musical examples. The group will work through Jennifer’s version of ‘Jimmy o’ the Bu’s Polka’ going over specific ornamentation and additional techniques.

Music will be provided if needed – please bring your own music stand if required. If there is time left over at the end of the workshop we will hold an informal open question and answer session about the music.

Come and immerse yourself in the music with like-minded fiddlers and musicians!

Places are free but please book through hoyheritage@btinternet.com or 07762570215

This workshop is funded through the Coop Community Fund.
