Become a Volunteer

The fourth North Atlantic Fiddle Convention in Aberdeen will combine a festival and an academic conference to celebrate the excellence of traditional fiddlers, fiddle music and dance from countries around the North Atlantic.  We would like you to get involved! 

In order to make this event as successful as the previous conventions, we are encouraging individuals to volunteer as Stewards and Venue Co-ordinators.  

Stewards will be required in a number of areas.  These individuals will be able to volunteer half days, a day or two, even the entire convention if you want!  Working closely with staff and convention participants, the duties of the stewards might include registration of participants, assisting venue co-ordinators, transportation, and general assistance with the conference and workshop events.  Why not take advantage of the opportunity to work behind-the scenes with NAFCo staff and guests? 

Venue Co-ordinators will be a team of dedicated volunteers who will be responsible for the smooth operation of our workshop and performance venues.  These roles will demand more of the volunteer, placing you in a leadership role.  To fill these limited spaces, we are looking for individuals who might have previous experience in festival, conference, or event organisation, who are capable of undertaking responsibility for a venue and a small team of volunteers, and who are willing to dedicate their time for the entire North Atlantic Fiddle Convention.  This position will require a short training session prior to the event.

Complimentary tickets will be available for our helpers.  If you would like to be a part of the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention, and have the fiddle and dance experience of a lifetime, please get in touch and let us know your availability.  Or if you know of someone who might be interested, please pass on our information.

Thank you for your support.

We look forward to seeing you at NAFCo 2010!
