Please keep an eye on this page for news of the Friday sessions. 
In bad weather check here before travelling.  We will try to update this page before 6 pm  on Fridays if there is a risk that we cannot run the session.  

Scroll down for details or what we do on Fridays.

To all parents:  BFG can only take care of children when they are at the hall or other official BFG event venue.  It is your responsibility  to ensure that they get to and from the hall/venue safely.  BFG cannot look after children when they are not in the hall at one of the practice sessions. Thank you. 

Session calendar (updated)

This calendar will be updated from time to time. Please check regularly.
Winter bad weather.  We will only cancel if weather / roads are particularly bad. In case of bad weather we will try to update this page by 6.00 pm each Friday. If in doubt call Andrew / Andy (See below and contacts page.)

What we do on Fridays

The Friday sessions are about learning tunes together, practising what we know, playing for fun and sometimes for workshops and more formal classes.  There is no need to feel that you have to come every week, although it is obviously great if you can.  Members pay £1 (adults) or 50p (under 18s) only on the weeks that they come along. There are no other fees.  We have music books for sale to members.

Friday practices and sessions

BFG meets almost every Friday from 7.00 pm onwards. These sessions are for members and are held at the Moray Institute (the Hall) and occasionally at the Blackford Hotel. Sometimes because of holidays and gigs we have to cancel the Friday session.


We are grateful to the Blackford Hotel for lending us their function room for free. If they get a late booking we may have to move back to the hall at the last minute. Check this page for details. 
In bad weather we normally manage to keep things running but if for any reason we have to cancel we will try to put a notice here before 6.00 pm on the Friday. If in doubt phone (see contacts).

Members can get the current tune learning list here. (This is a pdf file - you will need Acrobat Reader or other pdf software  - and it should open in a new window.)  NO LIST AT THE MOMENT

Stirling has its very own version of BFG -  The Riverside Music Project which has sessions every two weeks on Sundays evenings from 6.30 at the Riverside Rowing Club, Dean Street Stirling.  Everyone is welcome.  Visit www.spanglefish.com/RiversideMusicProject
