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, Stirling, Cumbria and Northumberland.
Anne Turnbull, appointed Leader at the AGM on the 7th September resides in Dumfries as does our Pianist, Anne Murdy. Our Conductor, David Darling resides in Galashiels as does the Deputy Leader, Wilbert Girvan.
At present the Orchestra rehearses once a month, 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 our formation in 1973 we have helped raise thousands of pounds to the benefit of the public at large, either here at home or overseas.
Rehearsal 7.15pm for a 7.30 pm start.
The next rehearsal will be held on
Monday 1st March 2010
Shona Mooney will host a Fiddle Workshop on Sunday 21st February between 10am & 2pm - see the 'News' page for more information
