@dwaynedibbly Yeah it does get tiresome when it seems to be discussed everywhere on the interwebs :) but I know a lot of people who genuinely don't understand that fiddling is just a style. From an outsiders point of view that confusion can be understandable; so I like to clarify it for people.
there is nothing like a bit of scratch and scrape! brings a bit of feeling in to it, and ads a bit of rawness thats lacking in folk music at the minute. thumbs up for sure!!
@kodikodiful a violin is a fiddle. Most classical players will call their instrument a violin. Fiddlers call it a fiddle. But you get fiddlers who'll call their fiddle a violin on occasion. There is the Hardanger fiddle; but that's for a specific niche of fiddling. Before I started playing fiddle a few years back I was confused whether a fiddle was setup differently to a violin; but that's up to the player, they tend not to be. Fiddler's aren't tied to classical rules, and usually learn by ear.
@ kodikodiful - pause at 3:07. Bridge is as flat as it needs to be. I am an Irish fiddler and I say I could jam with this guy any day. To all the haters; post a video response next time with your fiddle and bow and do better.
@sethkar tbh I asked the same thing myself a few months ago :D

i play a lot of violin and that looks like a violin not a fiddle? the bridge looks curved not flat?

I think the scratchy parts and being slightly off-pitch in places is on purpose --- gives a raw folky groove to it. I like it.
