Blazin' Fiddles

Blazin' Fiddles play The Fire Station on Sunday 22 November, with the music starting at 7:30pm. They're one of the most celebrated acts on the Scottish music scene, and they've built their name on capturing the variety, energy and sensitivity of Scottish fiddle music.

What started as a project for the Highland Festival almost fifteen years ago has grown into one of Scotland's top traditional bands, taking audiences from remote village halls to the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. They've picked up Live Act and Folk Band of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards more than once, and they mix traditional tunes with self-penned and modern compositions. A typical performance lets each fiddler show off their regional style before everyone jumps in for a lively hootenanny.

The line-up brings together three fiddlers from different parts of Scotland: Jenna Reid from Shetland, Kristan Harvey from Orkney and Rua Macmillan from the Highlands. They're joined on piano by Angus Lyon and on guitar by Anna Massie. Their latest release, Incendo, is their first recording as a five-piece, and it adds mandolin and tenor banjo to the fiddles, piano and guitar they've always worked with.

Tickets are £20, and under-14s must be accompanied by an adult. The gig is at The Fire Station on High Street West, SR1 3HA, on Sunday 22 November, starting at 7:30pm.
