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

29/11/2023

Did we mention we’ve got a few pals joining us for tomorrow’s gig?!

Wait till you hear them…

The incredible Soundhouse CHOIR 🔥

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 ✨

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!

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!

15/11/2023

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!

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?!

09/11/2023

Kendal, we’re on the way!!

Tonight we play Brewery Arts 🍁

Delighted to be back! Come and hear us play the new album live!

Can’t wait 🎻🔥
