The South Western Meets originally at the Nova Scotia in Bristol have gone Virtual! Our In-person sessions are now occasional and in Horfield.

These are now open to all and are designed to be especially mountain dulcimer friendly. Other instruments are also welcome.

You will have the opportunity to play along with the lead player, just hearing yourself and them. And you can catch up and have a bit of a chat. Bring your own refreshments!

These regular online meets have been going from strength to strength, welcoming dulcimer friends from Europe, the USA and even Australia.  Hosted by Geoff Black and others the sessions draw on a growing bank of tabbed dulcimer tunes and new tunes are introduced – with guidance – to make them accessible to all abilities.
