Busking Fiddlers Aberdeen
Bon Accord St Nicholas Shopping Centre to Host Fiddlers Busking Trail
Shoppers in the Bon Accord St. Nicholas Shopping Centre will have their feet set a-tapping by a fiddlers busking trail this week (Thursday 27 to Sunday 30 July inclusive), which will take in the shopping centre as part of the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) 2006, a five day long celebration of fiddle and dance from around the North Atlantic, set to take Aberdeen by musical storm from the 26 to the 30 July.
“The fiddlers come from all over the world and will perform at venues throughout the city over the course of the four days, including the Bon Accord St. Nicholas shopping centre, where performances will be held over lunch time,” explains NAFCo convention assistant Carley Williams, from Aberdeen University’s Ephinstone Institute. “They will play traditional music from a range of countries including Canada, Norway, Scotland, Denmark and the USA.
“As well as the busking trail, there are a number of other events happening across the city, such as workshops, concerts and ceilidhs,” she continues. “The next event is scheduled for Newfoundland in 2008, and it won’t return to Aberdeen until 2010, so locals and visitors should be sure to come along this time so as not to miss out on this fiddling extravaganza!”
Bon Accord St Nicholas Shopping Centre manager Frank Sutherland says: “I’m really looking forward to hosting the fiddlers busking trail in the shopping centre and hope that our shoppers enjoy this experience of music-on-the-move, as they pick up the latest summer bargains.”
