Hi... I've been asked to play (fiddle) at my friend's wedding this Summer... at the bit where they sign the register, generally faff around, and guests start looking at their watches. I'd like to keep it English or subtle Irish (not diddley), and quite chilled - as it will be unaccompanied the tunes have to stand up on their own.

But I'm at a bit of a loss because most of my repertoire is session-y and morris type stuff. I don't want to resort to classical, and I'm basically just a bit stuck. I know some beautiful aires but they are real weepies, not appropriate! I like the idea of mixing a few tunes up into a long-ish arrangement but it's the raw material I'm lacking.

Grateful for any suggestions anyone has... on the tunes themselves and/or any advice generally on how to make it special?

Also.... I've a few ideas, mostly blatant steals from a couple of cds, but is there a copyright issue here? Is this legal? (I won't be being paid.)

Cheers
Sx
