Feast of Fiddles bring 30th spring tour to Lowdham

A band of friends are heading out on their 30th spring tour with their fiddles.

Feast of Fiddles will perform at Lowdham Village Hall on Friday, April 11.

Tickets are available on 0115 965 3514 or warthoglivemusic.com.

Born in Nettlebed on Valentine’s Day 1994 as a one-off special concert — which turned into more — Feast of Fiddles put on a show of huge dynamic range performed with passion, joy and a liberal dose of fun.

Last year they gave two storming performances at the New Forest Folk Festival and Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, and this year fiddlers Garry Blakeley (Band of Two), Ian Cutler (Bully Wee), Marion Fleetwood (Trad Arr, Sandy Denny Project), Tom Leary (Joe Brown), Brian McNeill (Battlefield Band) and Simon Swarbrick (Merry Hell) are back on stage.

They bring a large range of fiddle playing styles to the rock back-line — all held together by legendary drummer Dave Mattacks — and sometimes past alumni to make guest appearances along the way.
