The Mad Ferret Band – One of Scotland’s most energetic and hardworking folk duos are taking on Scotland’s town halls to promote their new album.
Their new release Getting Livelier features old and new tunes, all recorded live from their most memorable shows, including Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The accompanying tour has been specially devised by the boys to re-visit some of the greatest nights they’ve experienced. Their original music and traditional toe-tappers are well known to entice the audience out of their chairs. This makes a town hall the perfect venue for this spirited twosome. Nothing better than a big dance floor for a winsome waltz and a rip roaring ceilidh.
