  • What you don't see here is Howie's humor too. Those faces he makes sometimes.....LOL. You may get a chance to catch this on other videos. Go to the Cape Breton Live website and you can see Howie and others play. A great fiddle player. He seems to have a sound all his own.

  • You're right, his comedy/variety show is soooo funny, very entertaining! Here he strictly played fiddle with Mac on piano, he is a very talented musician and entertainer!  One of our very favorite people!

  • Thanks for posting this! It's wonderful to hear(and see)some "current" Howie on YouTube. I personally think that he's is tremendously under recognized as an important proponent of "Classic Cape Breton Fiddle"!

  • It was a true honour to be able to "share the stage" with Howie at the Port Hawkesbury Ceilidh this summer. He is at the top of my list of all time best fiddlers, not just Cape Breton style either, he is amazing by any standards. Glad you liked the video :)

  • What glorious music from two of the world's greatest players. Howie has his own style and sound. He plays reels with pathos and joy intertwined. The first tune I heard Howie play in concert was so beutiful I burst into tears. Finding Howie's music was like finding the Hope diamond in a gold mine. I heard Mac play in Natalie's band and with Beolach and know he's extraordinary and brilliant. The name Bachands was in lights on the same billing with these geniuses. Yes and hooray for you.

  • I was luckey earlier this summer to open for Howie and Brenda Stubbert...my fiddle teacher is with the Cape Breton Fiddle Accoation so they asked him if the Guysborough County Young Fiddlers would open for them so we did..what a treat it was

  • Howie is playing a set of Strathspeys, Reels and Hornpipes in F major. 1st Strathspey is The Tarves Tripper, 2nd Strathspey is Lord Moira, 3rd Strathspey is unknown to me, 1st reel unknown to me, 2nd reel unknown to me, 1st hornpipe is Fire Away, 2nd hornpipe is Fishers, last tune, a Cape Breton Hornpipe named The Milburn. I hope someone can identify the missing reels.

  • Could someone tell me the name of the tune Howie is playing? I would be very grateful/

    Thanks
