The Golden Fiddle Show and Awards event is an Australian not-for-profit event that presents a generous cross-section of fiddling from across the planet, and provides a platform to celebrate young players.
Running since 2005 in conjunction with the Tamworth Country Music Festival, the show has featured country stars from our own John Williamson and Troy Cassar-Daley to The Whitetop Mountaineers of Virginia, surrounded by a hand-picked collection of brilliant fiddlers and musicians.
Sometimes the show is more theatrical, sometimes it’s up close and personal… but it’s always a rollicking good time!
