Scottish fiddle band Blazin' Fiddles perform at The Coro in Ulverston on Thursday, November 12.

Blazin' Fiddles will perform at The Coro in Ulverston on Thursday, November 12 as part of their latest UK tour. The performance follows the release of their album Incendo, the first without founding member Bruce MacGregor, who stepped back from touring last year to focus on business interests in Inverness.

Formed more than 25 years ago, the band showcases the full spectrum of Scottish fiddle music, combining individual flair with vibrant group performances. The current line-up features Jenna Reid from Shetland, Kristan Harvey from Orkney, Highland fiddler Rua Macmillan, multi-instrumentalist Anna Massie, and pianist Angus Lyon. Ms Massie occasionally joins the fiddle front line, expanding it to a foursome.

Angus Lyon said: 'It was Bruce's idea to bring players together from the different fiddling styles of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, and he made the band a showcase for these styles with solo spots as well as the ensemble playing with passion.' He added: 'It's more than a gig when you come to see Blazin' Fiddles – it's a party.' The band has earned multiple Live Act and Folk Band of the Year awards at the Scots Trad Music Awards. Its set lists blend traditional Scottish tunes with original compositions and contemporary pieces.
