| The Peninsula Scottish Fiddlers perform traditional
Scottish music at festivals and cultural events around the Bay
Area.
Led by Scottish fiddler, Colin Gordon, the musicians play
as much for their own enjoyment as for the audience. An infectious
sense of fun pervades the music and it's always a treat to spend
an evening listening to the Peninsula Scottish Fiddle Club.

The traditional tunes
in their repertoire have endured through many generations and
continue to delight us today.
Drawing on the talents of professional musicians and enthusiastic
novices, the club meets regularly to delve into the world of
Scottish jigs and reels, strathpeys, and lovely slow airs. Their
genuine love of the music brings out the warmth and zest of
the music.

In September 2000, the Peninsula Scottish Fiddlers
tour Scotland, presenting a mix of Scottish, Irish, Welsh,
and American tunes for listening, dancing, sighing, rejoicing,
and singing!
A special "warm up" concert was given to the community
of Felton, California on April 29th in the beautiful Felton
Community Center.
