Thank you for the reply. I was unaware of the fact that 7/16 occurred at al in Norwegian folklore. Did you find this particular tune on this 'feleverkene' site?
What's the tune and what album. I know it too well, I'm pretty sure I couldn't find it on Ceol More and I'm fairly sure it's on the self titled - please confirm someone, I'm going to literally explode if I don't find out!
He's quite low-key. I like it like that, though - those that love it, and are dedicated, CAN get into contact with him and learn from him. I doubt very much you could get that from Antoine are Andy.
@Peerlessfan : I have a song called "Fonix" by a Norwegian(?) fiddler by the name of Annbjorg Lien, which sounds alot like this. I don't know who wrote it.
@dummyguava He does the song "Fonix" on the album "Singing Sands" with fretless bass player Alain Genty, and he mentions Annbjorg, also Bjorg Ole Rasch. I've finally found it, thanks a million for the song name - now I know where it was.
He's Scottish, now living in the states (or canada, I can't remember) and touring all over that world you mention. Yeah he gets out. Just plays a bit of guitar on the side, that's all.

It's actually at the Chet Atkins festival in Nashville. I have one of Mr Mermer's nylon string guitars- very different to this.

It's a composition of hardanger fiddle player Annbjorg Lien with whom I did a few gigs years back. I don't think that rhythm is traditional
