The Orkney Traditional Music Project was formed in 1998 to revive the teaching of fiddle and accordion music in the islands.
 
Approxmiately 180 children (and a few adults) benefit from the weekly tuition on offer, and anyone with an interest in music can take part.

There has always been an abundance of musical talent in the islands, with tunes passing on from one generation to the next.

  

Those involved in the Project now generate their own funds with the help of local businesses and organisations as well as the generosity of those who hear and enjoy their music.
