Glen was amazing. He works at the Celtic Music Interpretative Centre in Judiqee, Cape Breton, and was explaining just before this video how Gaelic singing and fiddling are echoes of each other. Amazing.

  • @HappyinSunnySoCal It's called "cailleach liath ratharsaigh" which means "the grey-haired old lady of Rothsay" You'll find an excellent recorded version of both the song (puirt a beul) with fiddle on Mary Jane Lamond's album "Storas"

  • This is the best modern example of puirt a beul I've ever seen!

    Great fiddling too! Thanks for posting! : D

  • Anyone know what tune this is?

  • Glen's performance here is wonderful.

    Thank you.

  • Great!!!! I must be in Canada

  • Met Glen a couple of summers ago at the Centre - super nice guy, and passionate about preserving traditional CB music.

  • He's soon to be my future brother in law.. how cool is that?

  • My wife & I met Glen at the Center two years ago, and I recognized him from several Ceilidhs at the Doryman, the Creamery, the Normaway Barn, and Judique on the Floor. While it is instructive to see him at the center, it is revelatory to see him in performance, perpetuating the Celtic music heritage of Cape Breton!

  • this guy taught me to play fiddle 10 years ago!

  • Amazing! Does anyone know the name of the song?
