One week on from our St Andrew’s Night gig with Justin Currie at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, and we’re only just starting to come back down to earth 💫
It was a dream to perform alongside Justin again - an incredible musician and a joy to be around. His songwriting is incomparable…
A huge thanks to two more wonderful musicians - James Lindsay Music & Scott Mackay - for joining us on bass and kit. It was amazing to hear the songs come alive with the whole ensemble.
What can we say about Soundhouse CHOIR?! 100 beautiful singers who lifted the second half to something we had only dreamt about! All under the leadership of powerhouse, Heather Mac LEOD MUSIC 🔥
Our unending thanks to Jimi Troup and all of the Limelight Event Services team for making the whole day so enjoyable for us all.
These folks are the best in the business ⭐️
AND FINALLY! The biggest thanks of all goes to YOU, the people turning out to support live music at this concert, and all the others across the year. We couldn’t do it without you.
Shall we do it all again next year?! 🏴
Kind of forget that at one stage Blazin' Fiddles sat above Lewis Capaldi, Madonna, Ed Sheerin & Elton John and Taylor Swift. That's hilarious
What a way to round off our 25th year ✨
Thank you folks x
Did we mention we’ve got a few pals joining us for tomorrow’s gig?!
Wait till you hear them…
The incredible Soundhouse CHOIR 🔥
🎫 blazinfiddles.com 🎫
Tomorrow’s St Andrew’s Night gig at Usher Hall isn’t actually the band’s first time working with Del Amitri’s Justin Currie…
Found this newspaper article from the last time we teamed up (alongside the wonderful Eddi Reader & Colin MacIntyre) - back in 2005!!
We can’t wait to head back on stage with Justin and the Soundhouse CHOIR tomorrow night. It’s going to be absolutely magic.
Still time to grab your last minute tickets at blazinfiddles.com ✨

Happy Birthday (yesterday) to our one in a million sound engineer, Mr Jimi Troup!! 🥳
We’ll be having a great big party for him at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music tonight and there’s a handful of tickets left, so come and get involved!
Tonight also marks the final night of our superb Autumn tour 🌟
Bristol - you were magic craic at The Redgrave Theatre last night!!

Winter’s comin’… we’ve started to huddle like penguins to conserve heat.
It’s the closest we’ve ever come to actually touching each other. Except Angus.
Come and get a heat off us (heart if not body) at The Redgrave Theatre tonight! 8pm start!
We’ve had a couple of great sold out nights in Colchester Arts Centre and Ropetackle Arts Centre and now we’re driving through the heart of autumn to Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells. Looking forward to the craic tonight!
Tickets, as ever, available from blazinfiddles.com/gigs
Go on Newbury!! 🗣️🎶
Super to spend the evening with this wonderful lot at Corn Exchange Newbury yesterday. Doddie’s Dream sounded a bit good 🩵
Now for a wee day off in the town. Any recommendations for us?!
Please note: Next week’s gigs at Colchester Arts Centre & Ropetackle Arts Centre are now SOLD OUT. Still availability for Trinity Theatre, The Redgrave Theatre and The Glasshouse International Centre for Music if you’re quick!!

A special thanks to everyone who purchased one of our brand new snazzy beanie hats too - you’ll have a toasty wee temple today 🤠
Onwards to Corn Exchange Newbury now!

Thanks for a mighty night, Brewery Arts!! Great to be back playing to a wonderful Kendal crowd AND Anna kept all of her stings intact 😎
Onwards to Canolfan y Celfyddydau Aberystwyth Arts Centre now. We had one of the best tour nights we’ve ever had last time, so bring it on!

Kendal! An update: thanks to everyone who’s bringing strings tonight. Think we should be covered now, you lovely lot.
Anna here, with an SOS…I have made the IDIOT move of leaving my spare guitar strings at home, and Kendal has no music shop. As much as I enjoy life on the edge, I wonder if any guitarists attending tonight’s gig might be able to bring an emergency set along with them, just in case…? Any brand, any gauge. Be my safety net?!
Kendal, we’re on the way!!
Tonight we play Brewery Arts 🍁
Delighted to be back! Come and hear us play the new album live!

Rehearsals complete for our St Andrew’s Night party with Del Amitri’s Justin Currie!! It’s going to be a really special evening at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.

Can’t wait 🎻🔥
