Here you'll find details of many events of merit from around the UK. Let me know if you have an event or activity to publicise and I'll include
it on this page. Articles and news will, of course, be under my editorial control.
If you want to gossip about something or better still about someone! or want to discuss a particular aspect of fiddling then the
Fiddlemusic Forum is the place to go public.
