  • The original CELTIC FIDDLE FESTIVAL captures this ensemble at their musical peak. Ten years after this concert was released, Scottish fiddler Johnny Cunningham passed away. The group subsequently reformed with Andr‚ Brunet, but Cunningham's death signaled the end of an era.
  • On this date, the trio plays a mixture of jigs, reels, and airs. "Dionne Reel/Mouth Of The Tobique" is a particularly celebratory number. This upbeat reel sees all three fiddlers sawing away, while guitarist John McGann holds down the fort rhythmically. "Mist Covered Mountains of Home" is a beautifully nostalgic air that conjures up images of the Scottish countryside. Here, the fiddle is played longingly as it mimics the timbre of a human voice. "Music For A Found Harmonium / La Partida / Roumanian Tune / Calgary Polka / Leaving Brittany" encompasses many different folk styles, from Ireland to Alberta, Southeastern Europe to France. Lastly, "Blair Atholl/The Cairdin O't/Lexy McAskill" is a fiery set closer. On this blazing reel all three fiddlers get a chance to show off their wares. Overall, CELTIC FIDDLE FESTIVAL is a Celtic music lover's dream. Fiddle music doesn't get any more exciting.
