This is set to be one of the best nights of the Fèis with not one, but two of the best current live acts on the Scottish scene…
‘Rant’ is four of Scotland’s finest fiddle players, two from the Shetland Islands and two from the Highlands. Sisters Bethany and Jenna Reid, Blazin’ Fiddles; Sarah-Jane Summers andLauren MacColl, Salt House join forces to create a rich and vibrant sound, evocative of the exciting scene they create music in. They made their debut performance in July 2012, storming onto the scene and immediately earning high praise. See more on www.rantfiddles.com
