I can't find my hemp balm!
11th May 2019
As a musician, we're always told to look after our hands and ears. At festivals, I always have several pairs of earbuds kicking around - just in case it gets too loud or I'm pitched near a generator. The constant hum of diesel generators, background noises and murmur becomes unnoticeable…

6th September 2017
It's a play on words...Having been a 'fiddler' - violinist nearly all of my life (I started having lessons at the age of four and a half), it seemed appropriate that Fiddler had to be in the company name. The name itself combines two slang idioms or terms..."In and out…
