Music and Memories

Join us for a relaxed afternoon of fun and friendship. A time for chatting with friends over a cup of tea and live music from local musicians.

Join us for a relaxed afternoon of fun and friendship. These events offer us a chance to meet up with dancing friends beyond the dance floor. Each session will be different, with a variety of musicians, highlights from our archives and lots of time to chat and share memories over a cup of tea and coffee.

We hope this will allow you to connect with friends who share your passion for Scottish dancing and its music. Space at this free event is limited so advance booking is essential.

These events are free thanks to the support of a private donation.

Reviews of past events

Music and Memories with Ewan Galloway
2 April 2025

This inaugural event was lovely, and I am not the only one to hope that there will be many more to come.

Many of us have invested a lot of our lives in Scottish country dancing and feel an immense loss when we can no longer keep up with these friends. Occasions like this go a long way to reminding us that we remain a part of a special community.

The images from our archive were mesmerising and capture something that was phenomenal in its heyday. It was wonderful to see our archive being well preserved and to have some insight into Edinburgh Branch’s involvement in the first live TV broadcast from Scotland.

Along with the excellent cakes we had musical entertainment from a first-class musician. The pulse of Ewan Galloway’s music had most of us wanting to take to the floor!
