The Club is a group of fiddle fans meeting monthly to play tunes from Scotland (old and new) and the Scottish diaspora. It’s a happy group, where everyone is encouraged and anything is possible. Kids as young as 8 and adults as old as 78 play together in rehearsals and performances and have recorded 3 CDs "Red Hot Scots" in 1999 which had quite a bit of success at home and abroad, "reel cool" in 2002, which established the band's reputation and sold around 1500 copies to date, and in march 2006 "A Long Way From Home" their exploration into Scottish music and its connection with Australian music - including as featured artists Chris Duncan, Jenny Thomas and Alex Legg.
The Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club is open to all comers providing they can play at least a bit. It meets on the 3rd Sunday of every month at St Aidan's Uniting Church, Duggan Street, North Balwyn, from 2pm - 5pm. Players of all ages are welcomed.
