@funnyAnna Hi Anna, yes I met up with Donal (the other fiddler) the week before and spent about 45 mins learning this tune off him and then I guess we spent about 10 mins playing it through with Don and Rick (guitar/ double bass). The 40 mins practise was for the entire concert with all the musicians. I've never performed any of the Eastern European stuff before which is why it was so much fun!!!

@mattfiddleplayer you practiced for that night only 40 min?? But you've been playing together as a group before, right? Well then... feel free to play together more often :-D wish I could have been there to enjoy your great playing!

[funnyAnna]

wow... thank you so much for the uploads of that event, dave :-) these are amazing to listen to, and this particular tune gave me goose bumps a couple of times. I'm also looking forward to more videos of your playing :-)

take care, Anna

Thanks Dave, really enjoyed playing this one!! Well actually I enjoyed the whole night! I still can't believe we only rehearsed 40mins before starting. The next one should sound great if this is anything to go by. We're definitely thinking about releasing this and the rest of the night on DVD for those who don't do computers..
