The Border Strathspey & Reel Society welcomes all players of accordion, violin, viola, cello, guitar and flute with an interest in playing traditional music in an orchestral setting. We have members from Dumfries & Galloway, Scottish Borders, Lothian, Lanarkshire, Cumbria and Northumberland.
Leader Cliff Sandham ALCM from Keswick ably supports the present conductor, David Darling from Galashiels and Deputy Leader, Louise Douglas, from Hawick. Our pianist, Anne Murdy, resides in Dumfries.
At present the Orchestra rehearses once a month, generally on the first calendar Monday of each month in the Buccleuch Centre, Langholm.
Apart from the pleasure members enjoy from playing together our public performances are used as a means to raise money for good causes and since formation in 1973 we have helped raise thousands of pounds to the benefit of the public at large, either here at home or overseas.
