Online Workshop with Gregor Borland

June 21, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

An ONLINE Workshop Series – for Members Only

_______________

Gregor Borland grew up near Inverness in the Scottish highlands and started fiddle lessons with Donald Riddell at the age of 9. After several years and many successes in fiddle competitions all over Scotland, he was sent to continue his studies with Hector MacAndrew, an acclaimed fiddler in the north-eastern tradition. Both his teachers inspired and influenced his great love of highland pipe marches and stirring strathspeys.  He lived and worked in Edinburgh for many years as a piano technician. During that time he played and recorded with many great bands and artists, including Kathryn Tickell, Davy Steele, Jim Malcolm and Burach, to name just a few. He toured extensively all over the UK and as far afield as Colombia, Australia and Russia.  Gregor began teaching while still in Scotland, but eventually moved to Spain with his wife and young family. He is passionate about passing on my musical heritage to the next generation of fiddle players, which he does at his fiddle camps  in Spain and Scotland. He has also continued to tour and teach in other countries.
