Drookit @ Central Library

Drookit members initially came together in a Scots Music Group mixed instrument ensemble, playing distinctive folk tunes chosen and arranged by Sarah Northcott.

The six-piece band was created after the musicians performed in the 2018 “Big Tune Machine”, an Edinburgh Festival event organised by fiddler Amy Geddes and guitarist Donald Knox.

Since then they’ve played at the Edinburgh Folk Club, St Giles, for Ukrainian & Polish associations, the Story Telling Centre, Music on the Mezzanine and for various Charities.  They are also appearing in this year’s Canal Festival.
