A great session was had at the Kirlstyle on Sunday, thanks to Simon for organising and our fantastic tutor Linda.

Linda taught “Wee Murdie” – dots and music below:

This Friday is the last Friday before Christmas – we will have Mulled Wine (or hot spiced Apple Juice) and munchies, and Christmas tunes 🙂 Family and friends are very welcome to come along and join in. Susannah is kindly hosting a house session on 30th Dec, all are welcome.

We have had plenty of fun already this Christmas, playing for Camphill Blair Drummond, a “cool” gig at the Yard in Perth, and the Ceilidh Band played for a birthday in Auchterarder.

Our very own David Gardner has written a tune for PADS, which we plan to play on Saturday morning at the PADS coffee morning (everybody gig, all welcome!). Below is a recording from playing it on Friday night, and here is some sheet music.

Andrew B is introducing us to a new Ukranian Tune, “I Ia Toe Divcha Liubliu”. Here are a couple of recordings:

The sheet music is available from the Individual PDFs folder on the member music pages (username and password required, as us if you need these!):

The Ceilidh band had a great time playing for the wedding of Susie and Stuart’s son Calum, and were particularly pleased to have the opportunity to play again with Tom on Bass. Though everyone was disappointed that the St Bernards Waltz did not feature in the final set list 🙂

A big thank you to everyone who came along to play at the Blackford MusicFest 2022 last night! Special thanks to Andy S for managing the sound, to Andrew B for his story and song, and to Douglas for his solo spot – phenomenal playing!

Blackford MusicFest22 is next weekend! We are playing in the Church on the Saturday night from 7:30 – so please come along with your fiddle and join us to play some tunes, songs and even a few dances.

We are also playing for the Bridge of Earn WRI on the Sunday from 2pm to 3:45pm. There are sandwiches and cakes on offer at 2pm so how can you possibly refuse? Contact Mr Average if you would like to go but need a lift.

We had a great afternoon and evening with the Mod 2022, here is a video of the BFG playing our set on stage. A big thank you to Bethan and Simon for organising us!

We may be doing a set for the Mod after all… sheet music and a sound recording are now on the website :

With thanks to Simon for the arrangement.
