I have recently come to the realization that there is an alarming shortage of breton fiddlers in the world. In order to remedy this situation in any way that I can, I have decided to introduce a number of breton tunes into my repertoire. Does anyone know of any books, CDs, websites, etc. that might help me out?

Hi, Maelgwyn,

The following url will take you to one of Jerry Holland's sites for tunes... Enjoy and have fun. I too like Cape Breton fiddlers! Did you mean Cape Breton?

The following was a Lycos search I did on "Breton Fiddlers"

Hope it helps some.
