Fiddlers' Bid - Naked And Bare

It's arrived!! The new CD features the familiar Fiddlers' Bid mix of old Shetland tunes with new tunes written by the band. Also on the cd are tunes by Steven Spence, Margaret Scollay, Roddy Matthews as well as a beauty of a fired up Asturien tune and a tune from Faroe.

You'll recognise the unmistakable and unique sound you know as Fiddlers' Bid although they're even stronger now. The band think this is their best recording yet.....!

Fiddlers' Bid are leading exponents of the Shetland Islands' rich fiddle tradition. Since their formation in 1991, the flying fiddles and furious talent of the group have astounded audiences all over the world, with their undeniably unique approach to music and performance. With their four-fiddle front line, backed by a powerhouse of piano, bass, guitar and Scottish harp, they create a display of stunning virtuosity.

In recent years Fiddlers' Bid have performed at some of the world's largest folk festivals, including the Smithsonian Folklife Festival 2003 (USA), Tonder Music Festival (Denmark) and Celtic Connections (Scotland). They have had two hugely successful tours of Australia and Tasmania, performing at venues such as Melbourne Concert Hall and Sydney Opera House. One tour earned the group a nomination for Best Contemporary Music Presentation at a national music award ceremony in Australia.

Kevin and Maurice Henderson (fiddle), Chris Stout (fiddle, viola), Andrew Gifford (fiddle, guitar), Catriona McKay (Scottish harp, piano), Fionán de Barra (guitar) and Jonathan Ritch (bass guitar).
