This site was set up to give bluegrass and related music in the UK a genuine web presence. Whilst there are lots of bluegrass sites out there, we are always encountering people online who think there is no bluegrass scene in Britain or believe that they are the only person in the country to play bluegrass instruments.

ukbluegrass aims to act as a web portal to link all the existing online information together and help those who wish to find out more about the British bluegrass scene.

The Silver Strings Dulcimer Society

On a hot July afternoon in 1983, about a dozen members of a beginning Hammered Dulcimer class met at a park in Wyandotte, MI to review what they had learned together. This was the beginning of the Silver Strings Dulcimer Society. Since then, the club has grown to over 100 members playing a variety of acoustic instruments, about half of which are Hammered Dulcimers.

The purpose of the organization is to play the hammered dulcimer together with other instruments for our enjoyment, and to promote and encourage knowledge of the hammered dulcimer through regularly scheduled meetings, workshops, performances, newsletters and other related activities.
