Join the Hands Up for Trad Strathspey and Reel Society led by fiddler Claire Gullan to play some arrangements of great Scottish tunes on Wednesday 8th July at 7.30pm. All the tunes are below. Should be fun! We will play for 45 minutes! This will be the last meeting until August.
There are 14 great sets of music and Claire will take you through them at different tempos. You can download them below so if you have time you can practice them!
The event cost £3 (+£0.83 Eventbrite fee) to take part. That will cover all the costs and pay Claire a wage for all her hard work in making this happen. We hope this will be a weekly event.
Here a video of the society in action!
To take part you will need to download the free Zoom client. If you’re using a desktop or laptop download ‘Zoom client for meetings’ here. If you’re using a phone or tablet you can use the Zoom app instead on the iOS or Google Play app stores. Both are free! When you download the app you will have to sign up but it will be worth it!
When you have purchased your ticket you will be sent a link by email 1 day before event with link how to join in.
