Description
Naked And Bare is another cracking album from Shetland's fiddling folk band Fiddlers' Bid. Possibly their best recording yet, with strong fiddle overlaying the piano, bass, guitar and harp. "If they don't sweep you away, check your pulse".
"Great listening and great toe-tapping". Scots Magazine.

Fiddlers' Bid are leading exponents of the Shetland Islands' rich fiddle tradition.

With their four fiddle front line, backed by a powerhouse of piano, bass, guitar and Scottish small harp they create a "display of stunning virtuosity".
In recent years the Band has performed at some of the world's larger folk festivals, including the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, U.S.A., 2003, Tönder Music Festival, Denmark and Celtic Connections, Scotland. They have had two hugely successful tours of Australia and Tasmania, performing at venues such as Melbourne Concert Hall and Sydney Opera House.
