In 2013 fiddle player Anna Bowen and aspiring fiddler Mike Moroney advertised to ascertain what interest there might be to form a community group of violin players (especially lapsed players) to learn some traditional style fiddle tunes. What emerged was an enthusiastic group of players of varied abilities gathering together on Wednesday evenings at the North East Valley Community Rooms for “fiddle club”. In addition to 15 to 20 violinists, the fiddle club attracted accordion, flute, banjo, harp, cello, bass, and guitar players. By 2014, it was decided this ensemble should engage in some public performances under the more formal name of The Dunedin Scottish Fiddle Orchestra.
