I have often heard said that Cape Breton Island is the most westerly of the Hebrides. Two centuries ago when vast areas of Scotland's Islands and Highlands were cleared of its native Gaelic speaking populace Cape Breton became their new home. Here in relative isolation the Gaelic language, music, dance and song was preserved. Meanwhile much changed in Highland Scotland and the old dance and music style was changed.
Jack says"There is no unique Scottish style, and there are many other players who can do the other ones better." and that is no doubt true. However what I refer to as Scottish style is the music of the Gaels. Today it is called Cape Breton style but it is really the old style of Scotland that has only been preserved better here. Buddy is every bit as highly regarded in Scotland as in Canada by his peers there who have learned much of the old style from him. That is the style that Ashley plays when he is playing properly and he is very good at it.
