Scots Fiddle Festival

On the 11th of November I flew to Edinburgh with my fiddle teacher, Tom. We went for the weekend, for the 2010 Scots Fiddle Festival.

This fiddle festival was, if you'll allow me to deliberately over-dramatize for a moment, a life-changing event: I am not convinced that I will make music my livelihood. Not sure how just yet, but it's what I have to do.

The festival was jammed full of phenomenal musicians, moving music, new friends, and doors just waiting to be opened. The likes of Jamie Laval, Sarah-Jane Summers, Angus Grant Jr., Ross Cooper, Gabe McVarish, Martin Hayes, and so many others, were there and accessible, and so friendly.

Tom and I came home walking two feet off the ground. SO much to do now.

Stay tuned...
