This brought tears to my eyes ! I wish I could play like her... I am just starting to learn the fiddle at age 24... better later then never?? It's heart warming to hear her play... a super idol !!!

@AmberLeeena -- Thanks, Zoe & John great musicians, keep practising and you too can play like her. Makes it all worthwhile for me to post videos here. Good Luck.

Wow! Only one word comes to me, "INCREDABLE!"

Does anyone know the name of the tune that begins at 3:00?

[PRAK14]

Please see the comments below, I have been advised by Zoe that the first slowair is called the Blackbird. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the other names but have no reason to doubt DIATOMUZIK'S comment below. Thanks for the interest, Zoe and John are incredible musicians and two of the nicest people I have come across.

So many fiddler play perfectly, but they don't know that, the slower the tune..... the slower the vibrato.
