Description
This track is a wee bit different (!) to what I’ve already posted and appears because a couple of MacJammers have expressed interest in hearing some of my fiddle playing…
This track was written about 5 years ago – I was attending a Highland fiddle workshop on the Isle of Skye (Scotland) and our tutor suggested that we all tried to come up with a tune for the last day. For some bizarre reason, rather than something in the Scottish Highland style, I came up with something which sounded a bit as though it were Eastern European Gypsy music.
The track is played here by Las Bragas (one of the groups I play with) and was recorded in one take with no overdubs. The band are Jim: percussion; Gaz: bass; Ed: Guitar; Daz: drums; and myself on fiddle.
I won’t bore you with how I chose the name, it really isn’t that interesting.

This is great fun! Wonderful fiddling, great tune, Las
Bragas kept the pace nicely. You mention that the "track
was written" 5 years ago... was it recorded & mixed then,
or did you just recently re-record and remix? It sounds
very clean, and each instrument is well-mic'ed. 8s across
for a great tune, great virtuosity, great recording!
Hmmm... are you up for a violin collaboration? :-)
ttfn,
