The 14th Annual Fiddle Fest has come to a close. The Middle Fiddlers, The Fiddlers and featured guest AnDro gave us an amazing performance and successful event. Thank you to all the parent volunteers, to Walk The Beat  for sponsoring the Fiddle Fest workshop with AnDro, and featured guests AnDro.

DSCN5398The Middle Fiddlers, directed by Mr. Nick Mosley, gave their first performance of the year which did not sound like a first performance. The Middle Fiddlers are a young talented group performed a job well done.

 

 

 

DSCN5438The Fiddlers, directed by Mrs. Kelly DeRose, performed a updated  amazing set since the Michigan Irish Music Fest with new songs, new versions and some classic tunes this class of Fiddlers have fine tuned.  The Senior performance of the Parting Glass showed us we are losing large group of talented students but the amazing performance shows the group has amazing depth of talent.

 

AnDroThe featured guest AnDro finished the night with an amazing set. If you not seen AnDro you really owe it to yourself to check them out live. Its like AnDro is a freight train on a Celtic journey taking on the rhythms of the valleys of the world its passing by; very powerful, fun and enjoyable. AnDro finished the night with the Middle Fiddlers and Fiddlers on stage together.

Some photos of the night are below and more can be found on our Flickr page.

Once again, Thank you to all for making Fiddle Fest a success.

Fiddlers HC 2015

DSCN4517The weather was amazing last night for the 2015 Mona Shores Homecoming. After the Homecoming Parade the Fiddlers performed at the Annual Tailgate Party.  Attendees of the tailgate were able to enjoy a very tasty meal provided by Texas Roadhouse where a portion of the proceeds will be going to 1997 graduate Eric Westover who was seriously injured in an accident this summer. Eric was riding his dirt bike at Silver Lake when he collided with a Jeep, breaking all four of his limbs.

If you missed last nights event here is a sample of Molly Malone. Don’t miss the Fiddlers on Nov. 14 at the 14th Annual Fiddle Fest with special guests AnDro.

More photos of the even can viewed on our Flickr page, a link is on our side menu bars.

This weekend the MIMF hosted many bands from Ireland such as The High Kings, We Banjo 3, Slide and to bands from right here here in West Michigan like Moxie Strings, Peat in the Creel, and Crossbow to name a few. The weekend was filled with great music and fun times.

A very BIG Thank You to Michigan Irish Music Festival for inviting the Mona Shores Fiddlers to kick off the last day of the Festival. Its become a tradition the Fiddlers really enjoy. Its wonderful seeing old friends, past MSOPA members, Fiddler/Orchestra alumni and past Mona Shores Fiddle Fest guest bands at the Fiddler Performance.

Here are a few pictures from todays performance. more pictures can be viewed on our Flicker Page, a link is on the side of this page or below for mobil users.
