2026 and Feast of Fiddles set out on their annual tour once again, their 31st.
Two storming performances at the New Forest Folk Festival and Fairport's Cropredy Convention in 2024 promoted what has become their eighth recording and another live offering at that. This tour will continue its promotion. Born in Nettlebed on Valentine's Day 1994 as a one-off special concert, Feast of Fiddles is a band of friends that puts on a show of huge dynamic range performed with passion, joy and a liberal dose of fun.
This year fiddlers Phil Beer (Show of Hands), Garry Blakeley (Band of Two), Marion Fleetwood (Trad Arr, Sandy Denny Project), Mark Jolley (Banter), Tom Leary (Joe Brown) and Simon Swarbrick (Merry Hell) bring a large range of fiddle playing styles to the rock back-line, all held together by legendary drummer Dave Mattacks. It's not unheard of for past alumni to make guest appearances along the way so keep an eye open for tour news on the website.
This is live music entertainment like no other on the circuit, which is guaranteed to be enjoyed by even the most doubting of friends dragged along. The 2026 tour band is Blakeley, Crabtree, Fleetwood, Harding, Jolley, Leary, Mattacks, Swarbrick and Vincent with Phil Beer joining them at seven of the dates; Redditch, Tewkesbury, Havant, Honiton, Nettlebed, Milton Keynes and Worcester.
