Urgent casting call for male fiddler for Theatre Hebrides production

Animisha
Hi Dolan,

I don’t know if you can help, but with all your fiddling contacts, maybe you can help. We need a male fiddler, age 25 upwards, to not only play/perform/compose but also to act in our forthcoming production of “Roghainn nan Daoine”. Gaelic preferred, but not necessary as the playing ability is paramount. I know it’s short notice, but the period we require is 3-26 May, rehearsal period in Stornoway, and 27 May to 19 June, touring period throughout Scotland. This is a paid position at £***.** per week (just above Equity minimum rates). If you can think of anyone who may be interesteed and fits the bill, please pass this on! Many thanks for your help with this.

Best regards,
Animisha McCoy
