Feast your ears on this little lot!

Enjoy a hefty portion of postwinter fun with a Feast of Fiddles, the string-based band of pals who give all their shows packed with dynamic range and performed with passion laced with a liberal dollop of joy. Stalwart Chris Leslie is taking time out this year - not to put her feet up - to get back to fiddle making, so following her debut in 2022, Marion Fleetwood has now become a permanent band member. She joins a force of fiddlers with great pedigrees. Peter Knight (Gigspanner, Steeleye Span), Brian McNeill (Battlefield Band), Ian Cutler (Bully Wee), Tom Leary (Joe Brown) and Garry Blakeley (Band of Two).

This lot amount to an immense breadth of fiddle-playing styles, performed to a rocky back-line of guitars, keyboards, sax and accordion and held together by legendary drummer, Dave Mattacks, best known for his work with Fairport Convention. Feast of Fiddles have 27 spring tours, 25 festivals and seven CDs tucked under their faded jeans belts - not bad for a bunch of old folk-rockers!

Tuesday, March 21, 7.30pm. Online ticket £27.50. Box office Ticket £25. tivoliwimborne.co.uk.
