'Club meetings are held at 2.00pm ... with local musicians encouraged to take to the stage and play traditional music on instruments featuring predominantly accordion and/or fiddle. A "Special Guest" then performs two 30 minute sets during the evening with the entertainment finishing around 5:30pm.'
'In such a diverse community as Biggar, the festival organisers have struggled to come up with single themes for BLF and have settled on a Festival of the Five Arts - with a strong message that there is something for everyone. The ethos has been to bring together all the skill and talent that exists here, and encourage groups and clubs, large and small, to put on their own events during the festival period.' Held Late October.
'Founded in 1960 and every year since then has been bringing to this corner of Scotland a season of concerts of classical and contemporary music performed by musicians of national and international acclaim. We have always encouraged young artists and we have an excellent reputation with our audiences and amongst the promoters of music in Scotland for the very high standards of our concerts. Meeting the ever rising cost becomes increasingly difficult and would never be possible without generous help from Enterprise Music Scotland and our other sponsors and supporters.'
‘Set in the picturesque heart of the South Lanarkshire countryside, close to The Borders, the town of Biggar offers residents and visitors a variety of art, music, theatre and general entertainment, of which Clydesdale Folk Club is an integral part. Our regular club nights are held on the last Thursday of every month and we also host various concerts throughout the year. If you like traditional or contemporary folk music and blues, Clydesdale Folk Club gives you the opportunity to see local, national and international artistes and bands at an affordable price.’
‘Founded in 1962 we’ve been serving Lanarkshire’s Church Musicians for almost 50 years. We exist to promote organ and church music.’
'Since 2000 Music in Lanark has been bringing exceptional talent to the people of Clydesdale. From September through to March of the following year we present concerts showcasing a wide range of musical styles, from classical chamber music, opera and jazz to traditional Scottish. We also provide a regular platform for young musicians to perform at the beginning of each concert, thus enabling talent to flourish.'
'A female voice choir of about 20 voices who are based in Hamilton, Scotland ... We were formed in August 2014 and so we are a new choir. In that short time we have undertaken a number of engagements in central Scotland, working with local musicians and performing on our own right.'
'We are an award-winning amateur flute orchestra ... With a full range of eight different types of flute - from piccolo down to subcontrabass in G - we play more instruments than you might think. Accompanied by a full range of percussion, we are able to achieve the most orchestral sound possible ... Although we have many experienced players, we also have a number of learners of all ages. We are always keen to hear from players of all abilities, as well as absolute beginners who may be interested in learning. The orchestra is available to play concerts for your school, church or any other event; and can be a novel way of fundraising for your own organisation.'
‘Formed in 1902 and has a long tradition of making music in the local community and beyond. The Band has a full diary throughout the year with various concert engagements, community events and a contesting programme ... The Coalburn Bronze Band, Coalburn Intermediate Band and the Coalburn Percussion Academy are a key part of the organisation which is focused on musical education and performance. We warmly welcome anyone with an interest to come along to any of our rehearsals or performances.’
‘Founded around 1972. Apart from performing the major oratorios and cantatas of baroque, romantic and 20th century composers, we have included works by Poulenc, Rutter and Karl Jenkins, and we very much enjoy singing lighter and more popular music in social settings, such as American cabaret style concerts and Scots Nights. Our members come from Lanark, Carluke, Dalserf, Kirkmuirhill and further afield from across North and South Lanarkshire.’
'Exists to provide musicians an opportunity to perform in the local Lanarkshire community, and to present a variety of musical entertainment, from light, popular and film music, through to symphonic works from the great composers.'
'Formed in 1936, in a local builder's yard, when two or three joiners began singing during their lunch break. With the exception of the war years the Choir has gone from strength to strength and is now over 50 strong. The Choir's repertoire is wide and varied ranging from classical, church music, music from the shows and light popular music.'
Music in the Museum Organize a season of classical and contemporary music, from Folk to Pop and Classical, in the Museum's 18th Century Assembly Room.
Have developed their spaces into a 'St Mary's for All' - including offering a winter Concert Series.
