Celtic Fiddle Workshop

On February 25th Colorado Oldtime Fiddlers’ Association presented a Celtic Fiddle workshop with Natalie Koob of Breckenridge, Colorado. The fiddlers who attended were there to experience the history and art of Celtic music. They learned the instruments that are usually played and which instruments carry the melody. They were introduced to songs like Killavil Jig, Britches in Stitches and Promenade plus many more. It was an exciting and fun event that was loved by all who attended. For those who missed it stay tuned for more workshops.
