On the Fiddle

On The Fiddle was set up by Brighton band, Levellers in the early 1990s to distribute music to their growing legion of fans. After Warner Music bought China Records in 2000, the final album of the deal, Hello Pig was not to the liking of their new label and the two parted company. The band resurrected On The Fiddle Recordings, releasing 'Green Blade Rising' and 'Truth & Lies'. They achieved chart success with albums like 'Letters From The Underground', 'Static On The Airwaves', and 'Greatest Hits'. Their latest album, 'Peace', entered the UK album chart at number 8 - their highest placing since 1997s 'Mouth To Mouth'. During the Coronavirus pandemic, they recorded and released The Lockdown Sessions from their own Metway Studio.
