Bruce MacGregor
Musician. Broadcaster, Composer
After 26 years with Blazin' Fiddles, Bruce finished off in style playing with the band one last time in Edinburgh's Usher Hall on St Andrew's Night. A quite incredible performance from the Blazers and their special guest Karen Matheson was brought to an end with a presentation of a 'Doddie' rugby shirt from former Scotland and British Lion, Andy Nicol alongside Doddie's wife Kathy, and sister Kirsty. Tears flowed in amongst the cheers and incredible standing ovation. A suitable afterparty made it a night to remember!
The music carries on though and Bruce is delighted to be launching 'MacGregor's Gathering' at Celtic Connections on 17th and 18th January at the Piping Centre. An extension of the incredibly popular Sunday Sessions merged with the online line show of the same name, Bruce and the team will be hosting an outstanding array of talent including singers Edwina Hayes, Dean Owens, Kirsteen Nakau and Michael Lewis with a top team of the bars session players.
The show will be going on the road creating a festival within festivals as it takes workshops, concert and ceilidhs across the country.
