University of Aberdeen Folk and Trad Society

University of Aberdeen Folk and Trad Society

The Folk and Trad Society is a ‘craicing’ group of friendly musicians. We don’t hold auditions and any level of musician is welcome. If you do have some musical experience, and would like something more committed, you can choose to join our subgroup, the Elphinstone Fiddlers, an ensemble of players who play varied events throughout the year including ceilidhs, sessions and more. We play folk and trad tunes from all over the world, including compositions from our own members, all the while having a great time at regular socials and events.

How to join: Come along to one of our in-person or online Freshers events and say hi! Or feel free to email uoafolkandtradsoc@gmail.com

Rehearsals: Rehearsals take place on Fridays from 3pm to 5pm over Zoom, until we are given the go ahead for in-person rehearsals. Our first ‘Give it a Go’ rehearsal is Friday 24 September, 3pm to 5pm.
