I hope this will be of interest to some of the folk on this list. Ferintosh (Abby Newton and David Greenberg, with guest musician, Patsy Seddon on clarsach) will be visiting Scotland next month (details below). The music will be drawn from the 'Golden Age' of Scottish fiddle in the late 18th century, with music from sources such as Oswald's Caledonian Pocket Companion, and the Simon Fraser collection.
David Greenberg is an unusual musician in that he is equally renowned for his work in Baroque music and in traditional Scottish music. He is a well respected player of Cape Breton music, and, as scots-l subscribers know, he produced with his wife, Kate Dunlay, 'The violin music of Cape Breton', a definitive analysis of the Cape Breton style. Abby Newton is one of the pioneers of the revival of the cello in Scottish traditional music, and is noted for her work with Alasdair Fraser and Jean Redpath among others. Patsy Seddon is well known for her work with Sileas, Clan Alba, Caledon and The Poozies. This concert is a must for anyone interested in Scottish fiddle music.
