Feast of Fiddles: 30 Years and Counting

Feast of Fiddles is a band of friends that puts on a show of huge dynamic range performed with passion, joy and a liberal dose of fun. Born in Nettlebed on Valentine’s Day 1994 as a one-off special concert, the band has been entertaining audiences for many years. Fiddlers Phil Beer, Garry Blakeley, Marion Fleetwood, Mark Jolley, Tom Leary and Simon Swarbrick bring a large range of fiddle playing styles to the rock back-line – all held together by legendary drummer Dave Mattacks. This is a live music entertainment like no other on the circuit which is guaranteed to be enjoyed by even the most doubting of friends dragged along! The band has received praise from critics, with Sue Marchant of BBC East describing them as 'Absolutely awesome!' and Mark Radcliffe of BBC Radio 2 calling them 'Britain’s fiddling supergroup'.
