If you've been a constant listener of my mixes, you may have noticed the occasional celtic and/or Nova Scotian fiddle track. Well, it's a safe bet to say that I am quite a budding fan of the fiddle music from Cape Breton Island (predominately) as well as some from Ireland & Scotland. So here's an exploration into the genre with Jerry Holland, Bill Lamey, Howie MacDonald / John Morris Rankin and others. For best results, play at sea at sundown in the midwinter.

I always loved the fiddle, it reminds me of when i was little when i would go to Nova-Scotia for the summer, love it =)
That's amazing, I'm glad my mix helped to bring you back there. Thanks for listening!
We put our grandson Merrick in his Jolly jumper and he starts jigging.

I up and danced. Great mix!

I love this mix so much. I'm from Nova Scotia, so this is all music I heard growing up.
Thank you so much, I'm very glad that you enjoy this mix! I have to say, Nova Scotia is my favorite place on Earth, and the music from there has a special place in my heart. This is one my attempts to reconnect to the area. It makes my day to see that a native approves and enjoyed the mix. Thanks for listening!
