Saturday 14th. March 2009.

Located in the heart of Lancashire and only minutes away from the M6 - J31, Mellor Brook Community Centre is again playing host to what is becoming a major event in the traditional fiddler's calendar, the Mellor Brook Fiddle Day.
It will be a day of fiddle workshops focusing on the 'passing on' of repertoire, skills and knowledge from the Northern region’s rich musical heritage combined with an evening concert.

Three established tutors, specialising in traditional music from Yorkshire, Northumberland and Lancashire respectively, will each lead four classes over the course of the day culminating in group performances at the end of the afternoon. Registration, with a guaranteed warm Lancashire welcome, starts at 9.45am with the first workshop getting underway at 10am.

We're delighted to annouce that the winners of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2008 and the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2008 - Up and Coming Artist will be performing for us that evening. They were also nominated for the Horizon Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2009.

                   
We're looking forward to a great day and a great evening too!.....Come and join us?
