THE sensational folk rock superstars, Feast of Fiddles, will be making their first ever visit to the Cheese and Grain on Friday 1st April – and that’s no joke!
Promoters say, “A Feast of Fiddles gig is a musical extravaganza performed by an incredible ensemble of musicians, involving quite a few fiddles! But it’s not just fiddles, it’s a veritable feast of entertainment.
“The line-up of Alan Whetton, Brian McNeill, Chris Leslie, Dave Harding, Dave Mattacks, Garry Blakeney, Hugh Crabtree, Ian Cutler, Martin Vincent, Peter Knight, Phil Beer and Tom Leary needs no introduction to dedicated folk fans.
“Since their inception in Nettlebed on Valentine’s Day 1994, the love for their music has shone through and seen them undertake 26 Spring Tours, 25 Festivals and record 7 albums – not bad for a bunch of old folk rockers!
“Feast Of Fiddles are a group of friends and phenomenal musicians who play with passion, joy and a liberal sense of fun.
“Fiddlers Peter Knight ( Gigspanner, Steeleye Span) Chris Leslie (Fairport Convention) Brian McNeill (Battlefield Band) Ian Cutler (Bullywee) Tom Leary (Lindisfarne) Garry Blakeney (Band Of Two) and Phil Beer (Show Of Hands) fuse an immense range of fiddle playing styles with the back line of guitars, keyboards, sax and accordion- all held together by legendary drummer Dave Mattacks.
“28 years, still going strong and guaranteeing a show like no other on the circuit!
