Our first public performance! As part of a Christmas opening of the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford, we were asked to provide a little musical entertainment. The performance was thoroughly enjoyed by one and all, musicians and audience! (see You-tube videos below)
A typical practice session. The photograph was taken in the Alford Railway Museum. Practices are now held at the nearby Heritage Centre in Mart Road, just off Main Road.
The new venue and a new tune! This is a picture of our first practice in the Heritage Museum (Wed Jan 16, 2008). Holding the music score, centre stage, is our newest member from Aberdeen, the local composer Don McLellan. Don is holding a copy of a new tune he has written....a real cracker of a march called.....The Alford Fiddlers....needless to say we are very proud to have him as a member and to have been honoured with a tune named after us!
