Edinburgh Youth GaitherinMusic, Song and Dance for young people age 9 – 25
EYG’s flagship Easter event takes place during the Easter holidays. Around 120 young people (P5 - S6) take part in four days of workshops led by some of the country’s finest traditional musicians. The event is supported by a team of volunteers and workshop range from fiddle and accordion to song writing and internet radio production. The Edinburgh Youth Gaitherin is for anyone; whether you’ve never played before, only just started, or you are an experienced player or singer. You don’t need to have experience of traditional music or be able to read music to enjoy EYG events.
EYG events are run entirely by a voluntary committee who are supported by a freelance Development Worker who works approximately three days per week. About one third of the committee members are former participants. Come along and hear some live traditional music performed on fiddle, guitar, drums, tin whistle and piano and find out how your community can get involved in the work of the Edinburgh Youth Gaitherin.
