The UK’s biggest fiddle and dance event is set to attract thousands of people to Aberdeen this summer as the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) draws an international line-up of guest performers to the city and the region.
Organised by the University of Aberdeen’s Elphinstone Institute, in partnership with SCaT (Scottish Culture and Traditions), NAFCo 2006 is one of the largest events of its kind in the world that celebrates fiddle and dance traditions from countries as far afield as Canada and the US, to Ireland, England, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Lithuania, and of course Scotland.
A host of talented musicians and dancers from all these countries and more will entertain North-East audiences from July 26 – 30, 2006, in venues across the region. Over 60 workshops will be held over the course of the four-day festival, which also features concerts, ceilidhs, busking trails, and sessions.
