event details

The most talked about and in demand collaboration from Celtic Connections is back, following sell out shows at both The Hall and Old Fruitmarket. Three of Scotland’s finest contemporary singer songwriters; Colin MacIntyre (Mull Historical Society), Justin Currie (Del Amitri) and Eddi Reader join top folk band Blazin’ Fiddles. “Right from the start, our only stipulation to the singers has been that they don’t choose anything traditional,” says Bruce MacGregor of Blazin’ Fiddles. And what a result they have achieved.

Tonight’s return fixture reunites the same all-star instrumental team led by Blazin’ Fiddles who will be supplemented by cello, double bass, viola, percussion and a five-piece brass section with renowned trombonist Rick Taylor (also the project’s Musical Director) at the helm.There will be reprises of old tracks and some new songs in the mix as well.

This is no pop/folk fusion experiment – this is a brilliantly polished showcase of the finest Scottish contemporary songwriting.
