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!
Who will be there in 2027?
International recording artist and icon of Australian country music, Paul ‘Pixie’ Jenkins is back in 2027 as your host with the most!
Three-time bluegrass guitar champion and multi-instrumental musician Andrew Clermont will be making space in his busy tour schedule for the 2027 event!
