Since 2009 The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc have captivated audiences throughout the world with their unique blend of music, onstage sense of humour and intra-band ‘banter’.

Deliverance is their eagerly awaited follow up to their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album and features traditional and self-penned material played with passion, vigour and an intensity for which they have become known.

Of the new album, band member Kevin Henderson said

“We took our time with this album and we are very happy with how it has turned out. I think this album has seen a definite progression from the first album in terms of the band’s sound and with arrangement ideas for example. There’s also a higher percentage of our own compositions on this album compared to the first but we still have a lot of focus on the traditional music from where we all come from.”

The band are on tour throughout the UK from the 26th April to the 6th May promoting the album.
