Edinburgh Scandi Session

Our monthly session where we play traditional and contemporary folk tunes from Scandinavia and sometimes Finland. We’re mostly an instrumental session but if anyone has a song or two from any of the Nordic countries they are welcome to sing.

This is your chance to join us with your fiddle, whistle, flute, nyckelharpa, hardingfele, accordion, guitar, mandolin, cittern, saxophone, clarinet and maybe sackpipa. Come along & join in or even drop in and hear the kind of music we play.

It’s a bit different from Scottish & Irish jigs, reels & strathspeys; expect polksas/pols, hallings, vals, reinlanders, schottis and otheres that maybe don’t fall into any particular category.
