British Columbia Old Time Fiddlers’ Association Welcomes You!
The British Columbia Old Time Fiddlers’ Association was formed over 40 years ago to promote and encourage old time music, to foster connections among the fiddling communities throughout BC as well as Canada, and to encourage young people to take up fiddling and violin playing. Members also play all kinds of other instruments or they may simply love the music and enjoying dancing. The BCOTFA comprises several Branches in the Province, each managed by Branch Directors and each responsible for organizing their own local events, jams, contests, and gigs. Every year there is an opportunity for all members to gather together for the Annual General Meeting, usually held in conjunction with a provincial contest.
This is a new website so we would welcome feedback on it. Do check out the events listings and feel free to join us! You’ll be happy you did because you will make music and great friends.
