Britain's What's On Event Guide
Inverness Fiddlers' Rally 2024
The Fiddlers’ Rally has always been a popular event in the Eden Court calendar and Inverness Fiddlers are delighted to be returning to perform for their loyal appreciative audience and visitors alike. Once again the Fiddlers will be joined by fellow enthusiasts from all over the UK to form a large orchestra performing a varied program of traditional music from Scotland and beyond. The Fiddlers’ Rally provides both a visual and a musical spectacle since the performers are tartan-clad for this concert.
Our Special Guests for our 2024 Rally are renowned local musicians, Fiddler Bruce MacGregor and multi-instrumentalist Anna Massie!
Bruce MacGregor has been one of the most influential traditional musicians in Scotland over the last two decades. Forming the multi-award winning Highland fiddle super group “Blazin’ Fiddles” in 1998, Bruce has also been the voice of Scottish folk, as long term presenter of BBC Radio Scotland’s “Travelling Folk”, which he presented for over a decade.
Equally at home as accompanist or melody player, Anna Massie is one of Scotland’s foremost guitarists. A skilled multi-instrumentalist, she also excels on the fiddle, mandolin and tenor banjo. Renowned for her work with Blazin’ Fiddles, Mairearad Green and RANT, her reputation as a producer, presenter and musical director grows with each passing project. 2022's Producer of the Year and three-time nominee for Best Instrumentalist at the Scots Trad Music Awards, she is a highly talented musician.
She is the presenter of BBC Radio Scotland's flagship traditional music programme Travelling Folk, and her Black Isle Correspondent vlog saw her win the Trad Music in the Media award at the 2020 Scots Trad Music Awards.
