For the Toronto crowd....
The amazing fiddler, Colin Grant, is playing in Toronto this Sunday 4-8pm @ Fionn MacCool's (21 St. Clair W.) with Sandy MacIntyre & Steeped in Tradition. It's a release party for his way-cool "solo" album Fun For The Whole Family (on which many of his relatives play).
Colin's from Nova Scotia, and played at Dublin Irish Festival with Pogey last year. I highly recommend going to hear him! His album's making me want to practice fiddle again. He's got a great mix of trad and more modern sounding pieces, and his fiddle playing is curvy, and smooth, with a skip to it that's just lovely. It's some of the more insidiously lively fiddle music I've heard.
Go! See! Enjoy!
