In 1996 at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, as  a result of a impromptu "Jam"  the Fiddlers Festival was formed, the brainchild of Ray Schloeffel, Marcus Holden, Pixie (Jenkins), Garry Steel and Andrew Clermont.

After 10 years of countless gigs, 3 CDs and a stack of touring around OZ and Overseas, it was decided the name needed to reflect the changing nature of the group.

Enter FIDDLERS FEAST!

Fiddler's Feast not only performs but is dedicated to developing all aspects of Australian fiddle playing through education, composition, school development and international touring. Fiddlers involved with Fiddlers Feast under the musical directorship of Marcus Holden have included George Washingmachine, Mark Oats, Lindsay Martin, Andrew Clermont, Pixie, Ian Cooper, Clare O'Meara, Ray Schloeffel, Jane Brownlee, Nigel Maclean and Mick Kerin, Jessica Randall, Daniel Weltlinger and many more.

Fiddler's Feast  is Marcus Holden, Clare O'Meara, Mark Oats, Garry Steel, Rodney Ford and John Coker with guests including Andrew Clermont and George Washingmachine.

As a result of its involvement in setting up the Hawkesbury National Fiddle Festival (which took place on the weekend before Easter every year  attracting fiddlers, music lovers and agents from around the country and overseas), FF was invited to perform in Japan. A return visit took place in July 2002 after their successful trip in August 2001,  with another for world Expo in September in September 2005. The inaugural Japan Fiddle Festiva was held in Osaka in September 2006 and featured not only Fiddlers Feast, but Nigel Maclean and George Washingmachine, with special guests including Jo Ciandamo.

The group travelledl to Europe in July 2006 to perform at Festival InterCeltique Lorient, a festival drawing over 7000,000 people!

As regular performers at major events and festivals around Australia including Woodford and Port Fairy Folk Festivals, Gympie Muster and Tamworth Country Music Festival, the Brisbane Festival, Australia Day, New Years Eve, Federation Celebrations in Sydney and the Famous Spiegeltent, Fiddlers Feast  is recognized as Australia's premier fiddle band.
