Blazin' Fiddles Aged 10 Years

Friday 25th January 2008, 7.30pm

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Main Auditorium

 Please Note: This is a past event event.

Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.

2008 marks Blazin’ Fiddles’ 10th anniversary – a milestone little envisaged when they embarked on a ‘one-off’ tour of the 1998 Highland Festival. The instant chemistry between them, however, proved as incendiary as their name, and thus a band – not to say a legend – was born.

Ten years on, Blazin’ Fiddles’ career highlights include playing the Royal Albert Hall at the 2005 BBC Proms, and the acclaimed ‘With Strings Attached’ project at Celtic Connections the same year.

Tonight’s headline birthday guests – international fiddle stars Bruce Molsky, Liz Doherty, Annbjørg Lien, Harald Haugaard and Archie McAllister – have all featured as tutors at the band’s acclaimed annual Blazin’ in Beauly fiddle school.

Comprising fiddlers Bruce MacGregor, Aidan O’Rourke, Iain MacFarlane, Catriona Macdonald and Allan Henderson, with pianist Andy Thorburn and guitarist Marc Clement, Blazin’ Fiddles will also be joined by cellist Christine Hanson, trombonist Rick Taylor and percussionist James Mackintosh, in a venue rechristened for the evening as the Glasgow Royal Village Hall.

Tickets:  £18, £16
