Blackford from the air 2006

BFG is very largely a self-funding group working to support traditional music in the community. Recently we have received three grants to enable us to expand our work.

In early 2007 BFG was awarded a grant from the National Lottery, through Awards for All Scotland. The money was used on a number of projects through the year and into 2008, including the preparation of ceilidh guide and tune book, a tune writing workshop (with follow up help and production of a book), recording of a demo CD and ceilidh workshops. We are grateful to the lottery for their support for these projects.

In 2009 BFG is participating in the Stirling Area Community Music Project funded by Scottsish Arts Council. For details visit www.communitymusic.org.uk

Also in 2009 BFG has been awarded a small grant to run workshops and to hire professional tutors. The money has been awarded by Ochil Developments Blackford Community Fund administered by the Scottish Community Foundation.
