My wife & I met Glen at the Center two years ago, and I recognized him from several Ceilidhs at the Doryman, the Creamery, the Normaway Barn, and Judique on the Floor. While it is instructive to see him at the center, it is revelatory to see him in performance, perpetuating the Celtic music heritage of Cape Breton!
Interesting video. What a wonderful briefing on Glenn's theories about some of the distinctive attributes of Cape Breton fiddling. This video that helps to describe this type of fiddling, my overall favourite, brings a smile to my face. Thank you for capturing this video and putting it here for all to see and absorb!
We saw Glenn at the Celtic Interpretative Center earlier this month during our honeymoon to the maritimes. He was absolutely wonderful, we enjoyed it immensely! We had no idea when we entered that we'd be getting such a fantastic mini concert in such an intimate setting. We heartily recommend stopping at the center if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed!
This is the best modern example of puirt a beul I've ever seen!
Great fiddling too! Thanks for posting! : D

I saw him at Strathspey Place in July 2007, and two days later at the Ceilidh in SW Margaree.
He kicks ass.
(anybody know if he's single? LOL)
