Scottish Folk Day

Scottish Folk Day

Saturday, September 23 @ 9:30AMSat, Sep 23 @ 9:30AM

MacRobert Building, University of Aberdeen, King St, Aberdeen AB24 3FX

To mark a new nationwide day of traditional music under the banner of the Traditional Music Forum, the D&DCC and SC&T are teaming up with the Elphinstone Institute, University of Aberdeen to host an exciting day of workshops and performances with some of Scotland’s leading folk musicians. The day of singing, instrumental and group workshops will include networking over lunch and will culminate in an informal performance of the songs and tunes. Workshops will be targeted at the intermediate and advanced levels to develop individual skills and provide an opportunity to play and sing together with others. We are anticipating more than 50 participants. The workshops will be inclusive of a range of age and gender, with a sliding scale of ticket price reflecting the ability of participants to pay in the current cost of living crisis. The line-up of 6 tutors includes many of the world-class musicians who have worked recently with SC&T and D&DCC.

The MacRobert Hall, Tarland AB34 4YL

The Tarland Food and Music Festival has had musical links with the Dee Don Ceilidh Collective for a number of years. This year, there will be a Traditional Music Session led by Jen Clark and Karin Paterson. Jen plays dulcimer and guitar. She grew up in Aberdeen deeply immersed in the rich singing and music traditions of North East Scotland. After her early days playing with the Battlefield Band she spent many years in Australia, where she has guested at many of their traditional music festivals. She has very recently moved back to live in Aboyne. Karin comes from Keith, where she was taught fiddle by the highly respected Hebbie Gray. She has played at many ceilidhs and concerts in the North East over the years. Karin and Jen met at the very first Edinburgh Folk Festival and formed an immediate bond playing jigs, reels, marches and airs, and their joy at playing together is evident as soon as you hear them. Come along and join in with traditional Scottish music and the occasional song.
