From humble beginnings as a three-piece band of friends in 2011, Fiddle Paradiddle has grown to be a collective of players who share a love for lively folk music, energetic dancing, and the art of hoisting tartan bunting. When you hire Fiddle Paradiddle you will get a three-piece band made up of fiddler, guitarist and drummer. Our musicians double up as callers and bring the dancefloor to life as we explain and demonstrate the dances to you before getting started with the music.
