Our history
Background and HistoryFormed, but only in a very loose and informal way, in 1996, the Blackford Fiddle Group has continued to evolve as a community music group. It depends on its members for resources and as it changes people emerge to help sustain it. With an active membership at any one time of around 30+ people, and an extended membership of perhaps 60 or 70 it might be said to be thriving. Over the past few years it has played between 30 and 60 gigs each year, some with where all members can play and others for the BFG Ceilidh Band. It meets about 45 times a year - which not only shows the level of commitment by those who organise things but also the commitment of the adults and children who are its membership, who come to learn to play traditional music together for fun.
