Edinburgh Highland Reel & Strathspey Society

The Edinburgh Highland Reel & Strathspey Society (EHRSS) is delighted to be returning to The Queen's Hall again to present another varied programme of traditional Scottish fiddle music.

The concert will feature the orchestra under the baton of well-known Scottish fiddle player Yla Steven BEM who this year was entered into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. They will be playing a selection of marches, strathspeys, reels, jigs and hauntingly beautiful slow airs.
 
In addition, EHRSS welcomes back the wonderful singer Colette Ruddy to sing with the orchestra. She has a beautiful voice singing Scottish songs in a glorious way.
 
Our piper, Martin Duncan, will start the concert off in the traditional manner with his expert skill on the bagpipes.
 
Founded in 1881, EHRSS was the first ever society set up to preserve and promote the traditional style of Scottish fiddle playing. Its members are proud to continue the tradition in the 21st century. Throughout the year they perform in various venues around the country. There is always a St. Andrew's Night concert, several conferences, ceilidh and community events as well as their annual concert here in The Queen's Hall.
