Fifty years ago, the founders of our fiddle club got together and started playing old time music and entertaining dancers and audiences across the Lower Mainland. Our founders also helped build the Abbotsford Seniors Association Hall which still stands today, providing a venue for seniors to gather for all kinds of social activities including weekly dances. Please view the “club History” on left.
We are a fun and energetic group of musicians who simply wish to make music and make folks want to get up and dance! Most of us have belonged to the club for many years and have established warm friendships. We welcome you, no matter what you play or how well you play, Do come to one of our practices or events to say hello or just drop a note to Rod McLean, our club host Click here for more information.
Our focus is old time fiddle music including jigs, two-steps, reels, and waltzes but we enjoy all kinds of tunes, and occasionally even sing! Our club is part of a network of fiddle clubs across the Province of British Columbia, Canada. We are formally known as Branch #4 of the British Columbia Old Time Fiddlers’ Association Click Here .
Excitement was one of our feelings as we hosted the “Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling contest” from Aug 23 – 25, 2019. First time ever for BC since inception. The best of the best from each provincial championship competed for the top place in fiddling history, right here in Abbotsford, BC.
