The concert and ceilidh promises an evening filled with the vibrant tunes of Highland Perthshire, played by talented musicians who are dedicated to preserving and sharing this rich heritage. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, the society welcomes players of all instruments to join them every Monday at the Royal School of Dunkeld.
Are you a fan of traditional and contemporary fiddle music? If so, you won't want to miss the 3rd annual concert and ceilidh arranged by the Dunkeld and District Strathspey and Reel Society at Birnam Arts.
Co-founded in 1932 and deeply rooted in the musical heritage of Highland Perthshire, this society is a living testament to the rich traditions of the area. From the local schoolteacher Miss Begg to fiddler James MacIntosh, the society continues to carry on the legacy of Niel Gow's musical lineage.
But that's not all! The event also includes a lively ceilidh, providing the perfect opportunity to join in the traditional Scottish social dance. The combination of uplifting music and energetic dancing is sure to create an unforgettable atmosphere, making it a truly immersive experience for everyone in attendance.
This family-friendly event will also feature the Dunkeld and Birnam Traditional Youth Group as guest performers, adding an extra layer of musical delight to the evening. So mark your calendar and come join us for an evening of beautiful melodies and lively tunes that will surely leave you with a lasting appreciation for traditional fiddle music.

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
