What an amazing and fascinating programme this is!

Alison and Amy will be there on Thursday sharing our Deiseil: Dancing in Time thoughts on stepdance as a living and evolving tradition, with Alison returning onSunday for a panel discussion about improvisation.

What an honour (if slightly daunting!) to be in the company of so many great thinkers!

๐ŸŽป North Atlantic Fiddle Convention - Conference Programme๐ŸŽป

The 25th anniversary conference of the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention explores the theme, Traditions and Transformations, celebrating the rich inheritance of fiddle and dance styles while exploring revival, reinvention, and ongoing evolution.

๐ŸŽค Our speakers will present a vibrant programme spanning topics from field recordings to fiddling in video games, and from rediscovered histories to contemporary practice.

With research representing Scotland, Ireland, Canada, the US, Australia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Lithuania, Estonia, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and beyond, the conference highlights both the diversity and shared threads of fiddle traditions across the North Atlantic and further afield ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŽถ

"As Alisonโ€™s rhythmic percussion intertwined with Amyโ€™s melodies, the Hebridean audience was captivated; feeling both part of, and witness to, the reclamation of a cultural heritage that Scotland may be unaware was even lost."

Thanks Oban Times for this lovely feature from Easdale Island Community's Antonia Newlands - what a time we had!

Thanks to the whole community for their support in getting our kit over and for the warmest of welcomes and enthusiasm for the show. It was wonderful to take some time out to explore the sights and experience the culture culture of this beautiful island. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŽป
