The San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers

The San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers was formed in 1986 when Alasdair Fraser placed an advertisement in a local newspaper looking for people interested in sharing Scottish fiddle music. A small group of enthusiasts quickly gathered, which in the years since has grown to over 300 members.Our musical explorations are not strictly limited to the Scottish. Anything Celtic is fair game, which of course includes Ireland, but also Galicia and Brittany. Scandinavia too wields its influence, Norway being only a few hundred miles across the North Sea from Scotland. The New World diaspora don't escape our attentions either, with a fair bit of our repertoire coming from Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, and we've been known to dabble in Quebecois and even an Old Timey American tune or two.
