Scottish Lute and Early Guitar Society

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, we have a new society and web site: http://scottishluteandearlyguitarsociety.wordpress.com/

 

Just one meeting so far. Our principal aim is to bring people together and have them all playing, rather than a concert artist and audience situation. However, we hope to have workshops in the future. So if you are playing a concert in or near Scotland, and would like a trip to Edinburgh, we hope we can cover your expenses.

This also extends to lute makers, as we have three amateur makers in our ranks, so a workshop might be a possibility.

We also meet in the beautiful Historical Musical Instrument Collection at St Cecilia's Hall, which has some stunning instruments on display.

Wish us well!

  Let me know if you wish to be added!

  We have also had a request from a a player on the English side of the
  border to take part. Yes, you don't have to live in Scotland to attend
  the meetings and become a member! All are welcome.

Rob,

I would love to be added. I live in the States, but I would love to be "in the loop" as it were and learn more about early Scottish music.
