Bruce MacGregor hails from Inverness and is a player equally at home with the rugged strathspey or the tender slow air, he has combined the qualities of both East and West coast styles in an invigorating and expressive individualistic style.
"Bruce MacGregor has something of the Midas touch. This has nothing to do with luck, it has everything to do with a deep love and affinity for his music and a unique talent." FIDDLE ON MAGAZINE
Bruce was originally taught by the late, great, Donald Riddell CBE. He has since gone on to develop a style that captures the very essence of Highland fiddle music. As well as being the founder of Blazin Fiddles, Bruce plays with the Gaelic group Cliar. He also worked as a producer and presenter for BBC Radio Scotland. His programmes on early 19th century Highland fiddler Captain Simon Fraser and "The Strathspey King" - James Scott Skinner won him two awards at the international Celtic Film and TV Festival in 2000 and 2001. This debut solo CD was released on the macmeanmna label and contains a mixture of his own compositions and those of his mentor, Donald Riddell and was received with much critical acclaim.
"MacGregor's full rich tone and quicksilver dancing agility resounded with echoes of Stephane Grappelli" |
