Fiddleist

Taking their name from the Gaelic word for “kinship” Daimh (pronounced Dive) have brought their contemporary take on Highland and Gaelic music to over 20 countries. Recent accolades include an award for the “Best Folk Band in Europe” at the prestigious Folkherbst competition in Germany and most recently winner of “Folk Band of the Year” at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards. With a reputation as giants of the bagpipes and fiddle, Angus Mackenzie and Gabe McVarish lead the melodic powerhouse with fellow founding member Ross Martin underpinning the groove on the guitar. The Band are joined by “new guy” Murdo Cameron on mandola and accordion to complete the instrumental line up. Daimh have always had the renown and notoriety of working with some of the finest Gaelic singers in Scotland and the current line up only serves to cement that distinction with the addition of one of Gaelic music’s most rapidly rising star, Ellen MacDonald on vocals. Don’t miss Daimh’s Blackstone River Theatre debut!
