VFS October 2026 Fiddle Jam

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the first Jam of our 2026-27 Season!
A lot of people showed up, making it worth moving to the bigger space, and it sounded like you all liked the new location. You sounded good too!

Hope to see you at our next one – we have the fun & fabulous Q leading us!

DATE: Friday, October 2, 2026

at our NEW LOCATION: Braefoot Park Centre, 1359 McKenzie Ave  (below)

We have two rooms – one for the larger group and a smaller one for any players who would like to play faster, or more advanced tunes, or if there are some who would like to go over some tunes at a slower pace to learn them.

Time: 7:00 – 9:00pm; Doors open at 6:45
We will have a short break, there is water and juice, any concession snacks are welcome.

Cost: Members no charge; Drop-In $5  (your membership is due now!)
Note: Membership fees have changed – $30 per year for single;
Family memberships stay the same at $60 per year.

Following is the set list … we may not have time to play them all, but these are many of our regular tunes. We have changed the format of the set list, with the red book tunes, the green book tunes and other tunes each listed together to make it easier for playing.
