My favorite fiddle music is Scottish because of its beauty, drive, syncopation, elegance, variety, and because it is often played for dancers! 

I often play for English and Scottish Country Dance Balls in Southern Arizona. 

You can hire me** in concert with other fine musicians to play for your special event!

Here I am fiddling  at the Gaslight Theatre (2006). You can hire me for a lively time of tunes and songs from Scotland and Ireland.

 

 

 

In Tucson, I also performed for years as part of the Irish music ensemble
Trim the Velvet
.

 

 

 

I often attend the Celtic music sessions at the Auld Dubliner, most Sundays from 4-8:00 p.m. located in Tucson at Euclid & University Ave.

Besides Celtic music I perform playing Tangos, Swing, Bluegrass, Blues, and some Jazz.

 

 

Background:
I first learned classical violin as a child. I studied for 7 years with William Bagwell, principal violist of the Phoenix Symphony. In Glasgow 1990-1991, I studied with Douglas Lawrence of the Scottish National Orchestra, a leading authority of the Hector McAndrew style. His settings can be found in James Hunter's The Fiddle Music of Scotland. I've also been to the Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddle School a couple times. I LOVE the Cape Breton style of Scottish fiddling, especially the playing of Buddy McMaster, his niece Natalie McMaster, and Jerry Holland. I have frequently played for The Seven Pipers Society: country dance weekend workshops, balls, and public performances. In Scotland, I played fiddle music with Hamish Moore and Stewart Gaudin, both excellent Scottish Small Pipes players..

 

I'm always LOOKING for other musicians who love to play this sweet music.
