London Fiddle Convention 2019

This is the most important date in every London fiddler's calendar; a chance to meet friends, learn new tunes, see some amazing playing, buy some fiddle stuff. People come from all over the South East to be there- you'll rarely meet so many fiddlers in one place!

As usual, there will be a series of afternoon workshops, a fiddle contest, a session in the bar, and an evening concert featuring a wide range of performers.

And YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A FIDDLE PLAYER! The concert is open to everyone and you're guaranteed a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and a great set of performances.

Guests this year include

·         Germa Adan (Haiti)

·         Emily Askew (English)

·         Emily Smith (American Old time)

·         Fraser Parry (Folk cello, Balkan)

·         Gundula Gruen (Eastern European)
