THE KILTEARN FIDDLERS

Award winning Kiltearn Fiddlers emerged from a Fèis Rois Community class set up in 1990 by Alpha Munro.

I joined this exciting youth group in 1999. It has entertained audiences at festivals, ceilidhs and charitable events including Le Festival de Cornuaille, Brittany, Edinburgh Fiddle Festival and Blas. alpha munro and the fiddlers at foulis castle

The Kiltearn Fiddlers recorded their new CD, "Kitchen Sessions" at Foulis Castle near Evanton. The CD was aired on "Take the Floor" and "Radio nan Gàidheal" the CD features solo perfomances from Graham Mackenzie, Emma Donald, Eilidh Ramsay, Alasdair Turner and Gordon Ferguson and some beautiful arrangements from the full Kiltearn ensemble.

In 2006/2007 we were winners at the International Eisteddfod, Llangollen, Wales winning the Celtic Massed Ensemble Music Competition. In this video we are joined by Gael Force, a group of Gaelic singers.

We returned to Llangollen this year and came 2nd in the Celtic Massed Ensemble Music Competition and 1st in the Small Group Celtic Competition. Please click on the links below for this year's videos:

One of the many Gigs that we played this year was at the Garden Open Day at Kinkell Castle. The Castle belongs to Gerald Laing, the

sculptor, who has many examples of his work in the gardens

which have extensive views over Ross-Shire.

In the 2008 Blas Festival the Kiltearn Fiddlers were invited to accompany The Chieftans on stage at the Eden Court Theatre, Inverness where I accompanied them on Guitar.
