"JIMMY’S FIDDLE IS ON TOUR featuring ace violinists Tom McConville and Stewart Hardy Music, singers Jim Mageean and Alan Fitzsimmons (The Keelers) and champion clog and rapper dancer Natalie Reid.
With an enviable line up of world-class, award-winning entertainers, singers, dancers and players you are taken on a warm, humorous and heartfelt journey through Georgian Tyneside and the short, but eventful life of JAMES HILL, known as the ‘Paganini of Gateshead’. The whole show is illustrated throughout with virtuoso playing of his compositions, (The Beeswing, High Level Hornpipe, The Hawk and Lads Like Beer), beautifully rendered traditional songs and dances of the period.
Expect to be amazed, amused and entertained by some the very best performers the North East has to offer."
