The Southglen Fiddlers are a group of mostly (but not all!) retired seniors who enjoy playing “old-time” dance music. If you have tapped your toes to the music of Andy Dejarlis or Don Messer, then you know the kind of music we play.
We volunteer our time to entertain at over-55 residences, nursing homes and schools in the greater Winnipeg area … at Festival du Voyageur events … and at old-time dances throughout south central Manitoba.
Over 40 strong, we meet weekly on alternate Thursdaymornings and Saturday afternoons to practice our programs and socialize (except during the summer and Christmas/New Year Season). We meet in the St. Mary Magdalene Church hall at 3 St. Vital Road in St. Vital. Our current practice schedule is:
Thursday mornings (9:30-12:00): Jan. 28, Feb. 25,March 31
Saturday afternoons (1:00-4:00): Feb. 6, Mar. 12, 26
Whether you are classically trained or “play by ear”, we welcome new members, 18 to 88, who can already play the violin/fiddle or piano, at an intermediate level at least, and would like to join us on stage. If you are such a fiddler or piano-player, give us a call for details … then come on out and give us a try!
