20th Annual London Fiddle Convention: 19 February

There are few cities in the world with a more rich and diverse musical culture than London, and this is certainly reflected in the quality and variety of fiddling talent found here. The London Fiddle Convention has been running now for 20 years, showcasing a huge range of fiddle styles. On Sunday 19, the 20th annual London Fiddle Convention will be held at Cecil Sharp House, one of London's premier folk venues.

The convention includes a series of afternoon workshops, a fiddle contest, session in the bar, and an evening concert featuring a wide range of performers. If you are a fiddler, this event is not to miss! Of course, you do not have to be a fiddler as the concert is open to everyone; you are guaranteed a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and a great set of performances.
