What's New Spring and Summer 2006
Article on Irish Fiddling
I was asked by Stacy Phillips, gentleman and fiddle guru of Mel Bay Publishing, to write a little something for their "Webzine" called Fiddle Sessions. In all the years of running this wesbite, the questions I got most often were on how to begin. So I wrote a something that is now a three-part article on getting started in Irish Fiddling. Check it out:Tips and Techniques for Irish Fiddling PART I
Tips and Techniques for Irish Fiddling PART II
It's very basic and aimed at those new to Irish fiddling. If you like it, be sure to let them know!
Check out the New CD from At First Light,
featuring fiddler Donal O'Connor and Piper John McSherry.

This from Songlines Magazine is my favorite:
"if there’s a better Irish album released in 2006 I’ll willingly dance naked in Trafalgar Square with a ferret on my head. But only if Tripswitch is playing in the background."
That would be a sight to see!
