Buy Fire On! by Blazin' Fiddles
'They were formed formed in 1998 for a short tour organised by the Highland Festival. The idea was to showcase six of the Highlands and Islands' distinct regional fiddle styles, before combining at the end of an evening, for a bit of a wild session. The tour proved to be an enormous success, for audiences, and the the musicians involved. Over the past years the ensemble playing has become a more prominent feature of the live show and that is reflected in this, our first CD.
