That’s a wrap!!! 

XXV is well and truly launched across Scotland and we couldn’t be more delighted about it!
 
A huge thanks to our main man Jimi Troup on sound and tech, and to all of you for coming out and supporting us over the past week - and the past 25yrs! It was great to see so many full venues and happy faces on this tour and we’re looking forward to doing it all again across England & Wales this November.
Before that, we have an exciting October to look forward to - including a return to the mighty Celtic Colours International Festival, and our annual music school, Blazin' in Beauly.
 
See you along the way!!

A ST ANDREWS NIGHT CELEBRATION WITH BLAZIN' FIDDLES’  AND SPECIAL GUEST  DOUGIE MACLEAN  

Scotland’s most celebrated fiddle band Blazin’ Fiddles will join together with Dougie Maclean for a St Andrew’s night celebration. 

Click here to book your tickets now!

Blazin’ Fiddles' dynamic live show draws together the distinct musical flavours of the Highlands and Islands.  Blending solo and ensemble sets, they come together in a fiery blend to excite your senses.  From remote village halls to the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, the power house fiddle quartet of Bruce MacGregor, Rua Macmillan, Jenna Reid and Kristan Harvey, are joined by the formidable Anna Massie on guitar/fiddle and Angus Lyon on piano, to deliver a musically intoxicating evening. 

Bruce MacGregor, founder of Blazin’ Fiddles, said: “I still pinch myself that we’re at 24 years! It was only meant to last for four concerts back in 1998 but here we are 24 years later still going strong. I can’t wait to have Dougie Maclean guesting with us on this special concert. 
“When the band started in 1998 it was born out of a desire to showcase the Scottish fiddle, in all its guises. We drew on influences from all of the fiddle playing regions of Scotland and put these together in one band; this is why for us, in our 24th year, it is so important to tour Scotland and bring our music to as many areas of the country as we can. We hope to see you there!” 

“Dougie MacLean is Scotland's pre-eminent singer-songwriter and a national musical treasure” (SingOut USA) who has developed a unique blend of lyrical, 'roots based' songwriting and instrumental composition. He is internationally renowned for his song 'Caledonia', music for 'Last of the Mohicans' and inspired performances.His songs have been covered by Paolo Nutini, Amy MacDonald, Ronan Keating, Mary Black, Frankie Miller, Cara Dillon, Kathy Mattea and many other top performers. He has received two prestigious Tartan Clef Awards, a place in the Scottish Music Hall of Fame, a Lifetime Achievement Award from BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and an OBE!

The Great Scottish Run!!  

Following the success of our Doddie’s Dream fundraising single last year, we’ve decided to take our fundraising up a level, and out of our comfort zones. 

In a fit of confidence and motivation, 4 of Blazin’ Fiddles have signed up for the Great Scottish Run. We’ll be taking to the streets of Glasgow on Sunday the 2nd of October, running in aid of the My Name5 Doddie Foundation, to support their research into Motor Neurone Disease. 

We had our first training run at the Orkney Folk Festival in May, and are looking forward to the main event in the autumn. You never know - inspiration may strike on the Squinty Bridge or along the Broomielaw!

If you'd like to donate to a brilliant cause you can head over to our Justgiving page.

Førdefestivalen & Kaustinen Folk Music Festival  

Fair to say we’re sad to be leaving Finland today! The past week has been an amazing experience and we’ve enjoyed every minute of our time here, and in Norway. We’re off home now with lovely memories, and more mosquito bites than we can handle… by about 100%.
