This tour will be no different as audiences will be set alight by a blend of solo and ensemble sets and the occasional insightful tale.

Bruce MacGregor, founder of Blazin’ Fiddles, says, “Reaching our milestone 20th birthday last year was a significant moment in the band’s history and reminded us of the spark and passion for Scottish fiddle music which gave birth to Blazin’ Fiddles back in 1998.

“We’re still driven by the same mission today: to ignite a passion and fire in our audiences with our music.

“We can’t wait to play to Edinburgh Fringe crowds this August and are honoured to have the talented vocalist Emily Smith for company in 2019.”
