Blazin' Fiddles

Scotland's award winning group Blazin' Fiddles draw the distinct flavour of fiddle music from various regions of the Highlands and Islands. From solo to ensemble sets, they all come together in a fiery blend that raises the roof.

Fiddlers Bruce MacGregor, Allan Henderson, Jenna Reid and Iain MacFarlane are joined by Anna Massie on guitar/fiddle and Andy Thorburn on keyboard to form one of the best live acts today.

**** "...the invigorating effects of a rejigged group dynamic were clearly in evidence. Matching fresh zest and sparkle with richly seasoned artistry, the show built up steam from silkily orchestrated polish to signature fiery overdrive, until the mood resembled a late-night ceilidh." The Scotsman

**** "a collective force that does indeed blaze but as was evident here, can also smoulder, glow and positively scorch." The Herald

Twice winner of Best Original Song at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, she is one of the greatest songwriters Scotland has produced and an utterly captivating live performer.
