#WorldPlayAStrathspeyDay 2023

#WorldPlayAStrathspeyDay is back in 2023 on 6th May! It’s a day when people round the world – record, video and upload themselves playing a strathspey to social media with the hashtag #WorldPlayAStrathspeyDay! This year there is a theme! We are asking people to record strathspeys written for Lords / Ladies / Queens AND Kings. There are plenty to choose from!

Our annual concert will be at Edinburgh’s TradFest at 3pm on the 6th May. It will feature 4 brilliant musicians – Rory Matheson (piano) and Graham Mackenzie, Madeleine Stewart and Adam Sutherland (fiddles).

All you have to do is choose your tune, make an audio recording or video and upload it to social media and include the hashtag #WorldPlayAStrathspeyDay.
