For more information call Chuck at 860-423-5403 or email chuckmrgn@att.net The group has been getting together weekly since June 2005 and has grown from 4 or 5 fiddles at each session to as many as 20 or more! We have practice sessions, workshops taught by visiting fiddlers, and some public performance dates. Our Tunelist is below on this page...
Some folks play from written music and some play by ear. We often choose new tunes to learn from the David Brody Fiddler's Fakebook or from the tunebook of the Old Fiddler's of Rhode Island club, or from other sources. |
Every Tuesday - 7pm - 8:30pm Novice Session The Quiet Corner Fiddlers, an informal group of from ten to twenty fiddlers, holds weekly "Not So Quiet Fiddle Sessions" on Tuesdays from 7:00 to 8:30 in the Willimantic CT area, often at members homes, and on the 2nd Tuesday USUALLY at Fred’s Brick House Café, 1691 West Main St. in Willimantic (call to make sure). A typical practice session would be like this: for about an hour starting at 7:00 PM the group plays traditional fiddle tunes they've played before, members of the group in turn picking which tune to play and sometimes playing a brief solo before the group joins in. Each tune is played 2 or 3 times, at first slowly then a little faster. This is followed by a half hour of working on new tunes. Skill levels range from novice to retired Champions but we all love playing fiddle and we invite all fiddlers to visit us.
