Fiddlers Bid

Fiddlers Bid are internationally acclaimed as perhaps Scotland’s most exciting and dynamic fiddle band. Hailing from Shetland, they are a veritable furnace of four incredible fiddle players – Chris Stout, Kevin Henderson, Maurice Henderson and Andrew Gifford – additionally powered by a rhythm engine-room of guitar, piano and bass, while the band also features arguably the nations’ most exciting and diverse clarsach (harp) player Catriona McKay. Fiddlers Bid’s latest album ‘All Dressed in Yellow’ won ‘Album of the Year’ at the 2009 Scottish Traditional Music Awards and they were recently nominated in the ‘Best Live Band’ category in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

“…….they play with the precision of a Swiss watch, and enough energy to power a small town”  The Scotsman.
