The Garioch Fiddlers

The orchestra is mainly fiddle based but also includes accordions, flutes and mandolin with piano and double-bass backing.  This combination produces a rich and powerful sound. The Fiddlers are currently regarded as one of the best amateur Orchestras in the country and this concert will give the public an opportunity to hear the best fiddle music played in their own unique style. 

They will present an evening of Scottish Traditional Music and Song featuring a 30 piece Fiddle Orchestra and solo acts from within the group.  Over the years they have recorded seven CDs – the latest released as a tribute to their Musical Conductor Dorothy Ferguson, Heart of the Garioch.  Every second year they take their music on the road to play a concert for the benefit of a local charity and they have already visited Alnwick, Kingussie, Biggar Little Festival, Orkney(twice), Hexham, Harrogate, Oban, Melrose, Strathpeffer and Dumfries.

The concert will be staged in North Church, Perth on Saturday 8th October 2016 starting at 7.30pm.

A more relaxed and informal session will be held the following evening in the Salutation Hotel, Perth when local musicians are also welcome to join in.

Tickets are available from the Church Office or on the door.  You can also call the office on 01738 622298
