THREE of the finest folk violinist in the world are coming to Runcorn for a Celtic Fiddle Festival.

This folk celebration will celebrate the violin at The Brindley on Wednesday, February 22.

Fiddlers Kevin Burke, from Ireland, Christian Lemaître, from Brittany, and Charlie McKerron, from Scotland, showcase a fascinating juxtaposition of international and individual styles.

Sold-out tours and standing ovations give testimony to the electricity and excitement generated by the group.

Along with acclaimed guitarist Nicolas Quemener from Brittany, the quartet combines their talents, musical traditions, and spontaneous humour for an evening of dazzling energy and subtle grace.

These traditional masters showcase their regional repertoires and together conjure an experience of breathtaking performances.

In concert each artist plays a solo set, showcasing their individual musical styles and traditions, followed by a collaborative set featuring all three fiddlers.

Together, they play with such relentless precision and fire that the tunes transcend all cultural and geographical barriers, leaving the audience with a memorable musical experience.
