Inverness Fiddlers' Rally
Saturday 1st March 2025
After another very successfull Rally in March 2024, our next Annual Rally will be held on Saturday 1st March 2025 in the Empire Theatre, Eden Court, Inverness.
As always, Inverness Fiddlers will be joined by players from all over Scotland and beyond and we hope again to create an orchestra of nearly 100 musicians.
Our Special Guest for our 2025 Rally is internationally acclaimed fiddler Duncan Chisholm.
Duncan Chisholm is one of Scotland’s most recognised and accomplished fiddle players and composers. His music contains the rarest of chemistries, a glorious combination of invention, tenderness and passion.
Born and brought up near Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland, Duncan has spent most of his life developing his unique musical voice.
Duncan started his musical career in 1990, fronting the band Wolfstone, taking them from playing village halls in the Highlands to performing at festivals and arena’s across the globe.
His solo career began with the release of the album ‘Redpoint’ in 1997 and since then he has explored his own creativity and how this is affected by the landscapes of his native Highlands.
A four time winner of the Scots Trad Music Awards ‘Album of the Year’, most recently for his album ‘Black Cuillin’, Duncan creates music which is sumptuously layered and awash with dazzling colours, textures and rhythms.
With such a personal interest in and connection to the Highland landscape that so deeply inspires him, Duncan instils great pride and passion into recording musical masterpieces influenced by Scotland’s wild places.
