Fiddle Group at The 2009 Oxford Folk Festival

Last weekend, The Oxford Fiddle Group performed at their local Folk Festival, The Oxford Folk Festival. A Number of venues are used in the centre of Oxford for the festival. The Fiddle group performed at the Holywell Music Room on Friday evening, St Michael's Church in Cornmarket on Saturday lunchtime and The Newman Rooms, St Aldates on Sunday evening.

After this concert the Oxford Fiddle Group led a session in the 'Far From the Madding Crowd.' They were joined by the Bonn Group 'Reel Bach Consort' who also joined them on Sunday evening for the farewell Ceilidh.

The weather was gorgeous throughout the weekend so the parades and dances through the city centre went particularly well.
