For over 25 years, Blazin’ Fiddles have been thrilling audiences with the extraordinary variety, energy and sensitivity of Scottish fiddle music.

Donnell’s phenomenal musicianship and showmanship have brought him three JUNOs, and double-platinum status as the leader of his family band, Leahy. Together, Natalie and Donnell have sold out more than 1,000 shows and captivated audiences worldwide with their electrifying live performances. 

A rare opportunity to see two of the world’s great fiddle traditions meet on one stage, this is a celebration of musical heritage, virtuosity and the sheer joy of playing together and connecting with audiences. With two powerhouse acts and some of the finest musicians on the traditional music scene worldwide, this promises to be an unforgettable night.
