Fiddlers Festival CDs 1996 – 2005
The Shortest, Fattest, Thinnest, Tallest 4 Fiddlers together for a photo shoot re Red Faces entry all wearing Pink Ballerina Tutus….. Well, that’s where it started anyway. Ten years later they did their first Gig together and then since performed across Australia into HongKong, Japan and who knows when where else. But they always start the year at Tamworth Country Music Festival where you’ll see Clermont still joining Marcus Holden, Clare O’Meara, Mark Oats, Gary Steel and beyond.
The first CD “LIVE” has most of the original line up with Clermont behind the scenes playing much of the Bass as well. A warm, emotional CD with a good deal of fine ‘sawing’ of the strings!
And “Frenzee” won Best CD by a band, group, ensemble or orchestra featuring a fiddler 2007 Golden Fiddle Awards!
