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!”
