South Wales based duo 'Fiddlebox' are George Whitfield on accordion and vocals and Helen Adam on fiddle and vocals. We create a full and distinctive sound, showing the influence of the rock, classical and folk styles in which we work. Our programmes include traditional Welsh, Irish, American, and Klesmer music as well as self penned songs and tunes, all delivered in an informal and entertaining style. We are a bi-lingual band, and are keen to promote the beautiful music and song of Wales in a fresh and accessible way.
As Fiddlebox, we are busy throughout the year, performing in Wales and further afield at festivals and concerts. In the last year these have included appearances at the Wales Millenium Centre, the National Botanic Gardens of Wales, Sea Fair Haven, the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, Semaine du Golfes in Brittany and Dunbrody New Ross County Wexford in Ireland.
As a uniquely flexible duo we also call and play for barn dances/Ceilidhs/twmpaths, as well as providing 'walk-about' entertainment at functions such as food fairs and corporate events. Moreover, we lead workshops in Welsh music, sea-song, song writing, and percussion.
