๐ป Fiddle (Intermediate) with Dylan Cairns
Dylanโs fiddle workshop is aimed at intermediate players. Dylan will teach a number of trad tunes with an interest in encouraging participants to develop their personal style through tune deconstruction and the introduction of external influences and ideas.
Based in Glasgow, Dylan is a traditional fiddler, guitarist, and hurdy-gurdy player. He has performed across Europe with a number of acts including Iona Fyfe, Dallahan, Sketch, and his duo with Sam Mabbett (The Canny Band, The Unprepared). More locally, he has played countless weddings and events with numerous ceilidh and function bands, such as Bahookie, Corra, and the Sultans of Fling.
In 2021, Dylanโalong with Neil Woodโco-founded the Folksโ Music Project Cic which aims to provide low-cost traditional music education to adults and children in the greater Glasgow area. The project has seen success in building new traditional music communities in Neilston and Barrhead and was nominated for Community Project of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2022.ย
