''Feast of Fiddles is far more than
half a dozen of Britain's most talented exponents of the instrument. It's a joyous three hours of excellence and
exuberance'' Get Rhythm
Frequently imitated but never bettered, Hugh Crabtree's 'Feast of Fiddles' has in the course
of its 15 year History been transformed into more than simply a Band. It has become a significant Annual event
that is eagerly anticipated by an ever flourishing number of devotees.
Hugh has skilfully put together an ensemble that is bursting at the seams with some of the most illustrious names
to be associated with traditional music.
Collectively, the gathering offers their Audience an evening of honest to goodness, robust and undoubtedly joyful
entertainment, whilst individually each of the gathered Musicians contributes to the proceedings with an offering
that showcases their very unique and idiosyncratic styles.
With increasingly high profile Festival appearances bringing them to the notice of a growing number of music fans,
venues are selling out weeks ahead of the Tour. Catch them whilst you can
