Alasdair Fraser Concert Tickets
Hear the grand sounds of the fiddle with Alasdair Fraser tickets. No one has brought the Scottish fiddle music tradition into modern times like Alasdair Fraser. His deep understanding of his native country's ancient and continually evolving art is an inspiration to generations on both sides of the Atlantic, who are now able not only to play for themselves but also share what they know with others through performance or recording efforts.
Alastair was born in Clackmannan on May 14, 1955, and began taking classical violin lessons at the age of 8. In his teens, Alistair played with dance bands across Scotland where he learned how to build an extraordinary repertoire by listening closely to both written music from great fiddling forebears like Niel or Nathaniel Marshall as well improvisation styles that were influential among Gaels - especially those who spoke Doric dialects of Northern English which include players such as James Scott Skinner.
As a fiddler equally capable of playing haunting Gaelic airs and rumbustious dance tunes, Alasdair has thrived in his many successful partnerships with other musicians. These include duets for example on piano by Paul Machlis or guitar alongside Tony McManus.
