Kiltearn Fiddlers
The Kiltearn Fiddlers is a performance group with predominantly fiddles, but all instruments are welcome! The group emerged from the Fèis Rois weekly classes, which used to be held in Kiltearn Primary School in Evanton before they moved to Dingwall, hence the name, Kiltearn Fiddlers!
In 1990, Alpha Munro, who taught weekly fiddle classes for Fèis Rois for 30 years, formed the group to improve the performance skills, repertoire and confidence of young fiddle players in Ross-Shire.
We offer monthly workshops for young players of traditional music who are in P6 to S6. The sessions are completely free to attend and are aimed at intermediate and advanced players. It’s a great chance to learn new music, hone your skills and meet new people! The workshops take place on the first Sunday of the month in the Dingwall Community Centre. There are two groups on offer, depending on your current level and age:
