Production details
Renowned as the "hillbilly hurricane", The Wilders in full, unstoppable flight are firmly established as Edinburgh Fringe favourites after sell-out runs over three consecutive years at The Famous Spiegeltent. Triumphant winners of a Herald Angel with a five-star review from the publication, the Scotsman said: ‘They generate the kind of tunes that should by rights leave vapour trails’. Playing storming roots-of-country and old-time with a pure essence of early rockabilly, they deliver a blistering fiddle/banjo/guitar/dobro/slap bass hoedown, playing whiz-bang music as infectious, fun-loving and goodtime as you will ever hear.
