Musicians from local area.The nearby town of Banchory is home to the famous Scottish fiddler, James Scott Skinner, who has a square named after him, and, at the present day, to the Banchory Strathspey and Reel Society which was formed in 1932. The society has a large membership, and some of its members, past and and present, have won prizes for their solo fiddle playing in competitions such as the Glenfiddich Championships. A traditional music festival is held annually in Banchory in May.
Torphins has a number of musical sons and daughters who have gained reputations for their expertise on the fiddle and other intruments.
If you know someone musically talented you feel should have listing here, please contact me here with the information.
