I first encountered the versatile fiddler Geordie McAdam, a real character when I participated in a gathering of Mudcatters in Portaferry in 2003. He wasn't part of the gathering, but most of us who were would have heard Geordie playing at a pub session along with Diana and Nigel Boullier. The last time I saw Geordie was at the bluegrass and old-timey fest at the Ulster American Folk Park in the autumn of 2019. http://fonn.online/ms-geordie-mcadam-p1030-215.htm some videos of Geordie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcTpeWh0gbo at the Ulster American Folk Park solo performance well worth a listen Geordie learns about 19th c. fiddle maker Hugh Gordon Geordie's Matchstick Fiddles (the Boulliers play on this video as well) |
