Blazin' Fiddles are a contemporary Scottish fiddle band from the Highlands and Islands. They formed in 1998 to showcase Scotland's distinct regional fiddle styles. The band have a number of awards, including; the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards Live Act of the Year, Album of the Year and Folk Band of the Year. Their records are released on their own indie Blazin' Records label. They have been described as "...the LED Zepplin of the Folk World." As part of the year of Highland Culture in 1998 the band had originally come together to put on a one-off tour to showcase the various fiddle styles of the Highlands and Islands but the audience reception was so enthusiastic they decided to continue. Their name makes reference to the burning of fiddles that was done by the Church in parts of Scotland in the 19th century. In 1999 they were invited to the Fiddlers of the World festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia. At the Scots Trad music awards they were awarded Best Live Act in 2004, their Album Magnificent Seven was Album of the Year in 2005, and they were Folk Band of the Year in 2013 and 2019. They took part in the BBC Proms at the Albert Hall, London in August 2005. More information...
