On the Fiddle: Reels: Donal O'Riain, Matt Tarling, Clare Tarling, Colm Murphy

Great set 'o tunes, well played! Pachelbel's Frolics is a fave of mine. Seems to often be named and played as a reel, but I understand that it's actually a Scottish hornpipe - Koehler's Hornpipe. Hmmm....maybe should be McKoehler's Hornpipe?? :)

Any suggestions on a good fiddle for beginners? send me a link or just give me a good brand name. much appreciated. awesome video. keep up the good work.

@Ominix301 Hi. Sorry I didn't reply earlier. To be honest, there's no specific good fiddle for beginners. The ones coming out of China are pretty good now and will get you a long way before you'd need to upgrade.

Incredible fiddling and great accompaniment. Been listening to this all afternoon.

One question though, is the Scottish Wedding Reel known with another name? I've heard it before but can't find the tune anywhere?

[davedupplaw]

Yeah, I've not managed to find the dots or ABC for a tune called the Scottish Wedding Reel, either. Next time I have my fiddle lesson I'll grill Matt to find out where he got it!

[davedupplaw]

Hey pinklicker. I asked Matt about the reel, and he said this:

"Aha! It comes from a compilation that i got in the early '90's called Scottish Fiddle tunes. Pretty sure it's no longer in print but you never know....! And that's the only name I know it by and I'm fairly certain that it's quite old, the Irish wedding reel is much more recent and is also called the Madonna reel according to a friend."

Matt's offered to post another version of it; I'd certainly like to learn it!

[pintlicker]

@pintlicker Came across this tune again and just thought id clear up the name thing a bit. Its called the Brides reel. Its been driving me mad off and on for a while!

[ormoluinhen]

this is wicked! wish i had been there!!

[fiddle4u]
