The much loved\u00a0Scottish Fiddle Orchestra<\/strong>\u00a0will showcase their\u00a0Hogmanay Celebration<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0Usher Hall, Edinburgh<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Friday 30th December<\/strong>, with hundreds of guests expected to flock to the special gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra<\/strong> will perform at Scotland\u2019s only five-star concert hall with conductor Blair Parham<\/strong> at the helm. Gary Innes<\/strong>, from Scottish supergroup M\u00e0nran and host of BBC’s Take the Floor, has the job of compere and ringmaster with maybe a wee tune on his accordion. They will be joined by acclaimed singers, mezzo soprano Colette Ruddy<\/strong> and tenor Dennis Haggerty<\/strong>. Also joining the 80 strong orchestra will be Stockbridge Pipe Band<\/strong>, helping to raise the roof at what will be a fantastic show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People of all ages can enjoy lively toe-tapping jigs and reels, poignant slow airs, and a sprinkling of well-known songs at the annual festive gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The orchestra, which has promoted traditional Scottish music for more than 40 years, held its last Hogmanay Celebration in 2019 with an 1,800-strong audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob Diament, Chairman of Scottish Fiddle Orchestra<\/strong>, said: \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to get back to our Hogmanay Celebrations on the Usher Hall stage, it really is one of our favourite venues and it\u2019s lovely to play there at such a special time of year. It is a concert that can be enjoyed by all \u2013 couples and families looking to do something special during the festive season, friends wanting to enjoy rousing performances together, and visitors interested in soaking up some of Scotland\u2019s finest culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra is a charity run by volunteers and is fully self-supported. The orchestra makes donations to other musical-related charities, partner pipe bands, medical charities and the RNLI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SFO\u2019s Hogmanay Celebration starts at 7.30pm on Saturday 30 December. Tickets are priced between \u00a35 – \u00a325 and are on sale now at: https:\/\/www.sfo.org.uk\/concert\/edinburgh-usher-hall\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
