The 'Fiddle Fest' started as part of the Brigg Live Arts programme and was originally called
'The Fiddle Workout'. The committee of Brigg Live Arts asked
Carol Dawson, the organiser of Wootton fiddle club, if she would be interested
in putting on some sort of fiddle event during the Arts week. Delighted
by this opportunity and inspired by the Fulbeck Fiddle festival, she and
her trusty team (Russ, Lynn and Sue,) called on artists such as Loyko,
Gina Le Faux, Robin Garside, and the Old Rope String Band. They put together
two fantastic concerts, workshops and street entertainment. The Fiddle
Workout was such a success that the following year they decided to create
the Brigg Fiddle Festival and the rest is history. The Festival now boasts
a busking competition, music sessions, an education programme and five
concerts.
