Highland style

http://peeblesfiddle.co.uk/fiddle_groups_006.htm

Fiddle Style in the Scottish highlands and islands. The modern repertoire is strongly influenced by bagpipe music and by Scottish Gaelic song (particularly in the West Highlands). Many of the beautiful slow airs - or waltz tunes - have melodies which were originally songs. A good knowledge of the language can therefore enhance the interpretation of these lovely tunes.

Folk All: September 2014

http://folkall.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, 14 September 2014. Without any hint of being patronising Kelly Oliver. Seems to have matured so much in such a short time it almost defies the laws of nature. If there was a crossroads for folk singers you could easily suspect she has waited there for you know who. All joking aside, rubbing shoulders with some of the legends of the folk world not least of which is Dave Swarbrick. Couldn't have done any harm either.

I would like to thank. The Folk Awards - and the first three chapters. But last night, I also finished the first three chapters of my new ghostwriting project, along with the proposal letter and chapter plan.
