Are you asking just for fiddle tunes? Or for songs about fiddle playing?

Check out one I just uploaded to the net from a live performance last Saturday (St. Patrick's Day).

The Mouth of the Tobique, a Canadian tune, lead is Carol Dailey on fiddle.
Mairi's Wedding/Mouth Of The Tobique (set recorded live at the Murray.)

Now that I've re-read your question GUEST, do you mean you want SONGS on the topic of fiddle playing, not fiddle tunes? You can search the database of lyrics for "fiddle", and get lots of songs, like Uncle Pen, Peter's Private Army, MacPhearson's Lament, and many more.

I'm not sure that I was on the right lines either but hopefully this will play a clip from CDNow.
