Subject: RE: 'Fiddle' vs 'Violin'????
Ed Caines[posh band],Cathy Cook[Ex nellie the Elephant,and New esperance morris]Tom Mconville are all examples of musicians who are good to dance to,yet all have a correct technique.
there is no reason why something should not be good dance music and good to listen to,the three above musicians are good examples of this.
here are some more,[dubliners fiddler Sean Keane, Matt Crannitch, Paul Mcnevin,Seamus Creagh,all have a correct technique,all are good dance musicians,I believe Keane and Crannitch had classical training as well.http://www.dickmiles.com
