The awesome powerhouse that is the Melbourne Scottish Fiddlers is coming to Tasmania, bringing a group that has wowed audiences on the mainland for over a decade. Combining fiddling, songs, and even a former national champion Irish step dancer, the group ranges in age from 12 to 75, and puts on a show you will not soon forget. Since 1995 the group has appeared in most major folk festivals, has toured New Zealand, made three albums and has developed many fine young players who now have bands and recordings of their own.
