Awesome! where did you learn to fiddle like that? Is there a website I can go to to buy these tunes? :)

@jeffneil86 I've added links in the video description (above) to the CD that has this J.Scott Skinner set. Colyn performed it in concert with the Peninsula Scottish Fiddlers. I've also added a link to Colyn and Shauna's (Peat-Fire Flame) website where you can find a 'store' with their music.

Great job as always Colyn! Your passion and precision shows through. This is one of the better recordings I've listened to, but nothing compares to hearing him live. His violin also has a rich tone that Colyn really knows how shape into some of the most enjoyable music I've listened too.

One of your best sets, especially the "Hurricane."  You have "IT!"
