What a fantastic first night back at Newtongrange Accordion and Fiddle Club — and what a special way to begin our 50th season 🎶
We started the evening with a moment of silence and a toast in memory of Margaret and Tam, two much-loved members of our club who sadly passed away during our summer break. Both have been a wonderful part of our club over many years, and they will be greatly missed. We raised a glass in appreciation of the friendship, music and memories they shared with us. ❤️
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the Dean Trust for their very kind donation towards the club. We are incredibly grateful for their support, which helps us continue what we love doing — providing a platform for local musicians to come together, share their talents, and enjoy live music, including our guest bands who join us most months.
It was brilliant to see players travelling from near and far to join us for our opening night, and especially lovely to welcome some new faces. Thank you all for making the journey and helping us get our 50th season off to such a great start.
A huge thank you also goes to our fantastic committee and volunteers who help make these nights happen — from selling raffle tickets and comparing the evening, to setting up the equipment and packing everything away afterwards. Your hard work and dedication are very much appreciated. 👏
Trouble was on hand taking photos and videos throughout the night, and we’ll be sharing these with you soon.
We look forward to welcoming you all back on Saturday 26th October for our next club night. Until then, keep the music playing! 🎻🪗
