Friday practices / sessions                           Updated 2 May 2010

BFG meets almost every Friday evening from 7.00 pm onwards.  These sessions are either at the Moray Institute (The Hall) Blackford or at the Blackford Hotel.  (Venue details below.) At the sessions we learn and play tunes together. Very occasionally the Friday practices and sessions are cancelled because of gigs or holidays.  This page is updated to keep you posted.

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

You can always call Andrew on O79OO 87O326 to check if there are any changes of plan. 

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 5.00 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  - and it should open in a new window.)

What we do on Fridays

The Friday sessions are about learning tunes, 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.
