Could they not have found some less cheesy tunes and arrangements to play? It's TERRIBLE !!!!

[TheMightyHC]

@danthefatman very true. going to see feast of fiddles yet again next week, mainly to see DM :)

[danthefatman]

you can have a many (excellent) fiddles as you like but there will only ever be one Dave Matttacks.

[GibsonHummingbird]

Coz he doesn't want to look a dick .. like most of our prematurely balding society. Let your freak flag flow Phil.

[merse4england]

Why does Phil Beer always look like he's been dragged through a hedge backwards??

[fiddlinquine]

The tunes? The first one is My Love She's But a Lassie Yet (made famous by Robert Burns, 17/1800s in Scotland),The Reel of Tullochgorum (trad. Scottish), The Atholl Highlanders (6/8 pipe march) then The High Road to Linton (pipe reel).

[heinrichandco]
