Strath’Spey: n [Strath Spey, district of Scotland]: a Scottish dance that is similar to but slower than the reel; also: the music for this dance. The New Orleans Strathspey and Reel Society is a non-profit (501-C3) organization whose aim is to educate the public about the wonderful traditional music of Scotland and the surrounding regions and to present and perform this music. We are the Gulf South’s only Scottish Fiddle orchestra. Whereas the primary instrument of our group is the fiddle, other traditional instruments include flute, bagpipe, piano, cello, concertina, dulcimer, guitar and mandolin. We have regular performances throughout the year; some of these include: CelticFest Mississippi, Jackson MS, Blues n’ BBQ festival, Hammond LA, and Highlands & Islands Festival, Gulfport MS. Support us with a generous tax-deductible donation or come join us and play some great music! Check us out on MySpace!
