Ranters and Fiddlers features The Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra and The Northumbrian Ranters playing traditional selections from Scotland, Ireland and England.

The Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra was set up to encourage new players and have done this most successfully for over 25 years with tours of America and the latest being China last year. They are internationally recognised as one of the leading youth ensembles in Scotland and have released numerous CD’s.

The Northumbrian Ranters was formed four years ago. Presently there are 40 members and they have toured America and are due to go to the Shetland Isles in October to The Accordion and Fiddle Festival. They have also played at The Music for Youth Festival at Birmingham and if they reach the finals, will play at The Albert Hall in November.

This concert will be a great opportunity to hear some of the best younger musicians from Northumberland and Scotland playing to together and it will be a night to remember with over 90 musicians performing together.
