French Canadian, Irish And Scottish Fiddle Music

You can hear sample for each track under the following link:

Let me tell you that you need a damn good hear to get all the variations under full speed!

The extract on the web-link provided sounds like its the medley that Carignan played with Yves Verret and Gilles Losier in 1975 at “La veillee des veillees” which consisted of three reels, Bonnie Kate opening the medley and Star of Munster finishing it off.
A gret album not yet posted on TheSession and that should be.
I’ll get to it 😉

Any clue on what the second reel may be called?

Listening to the samples, I notice that the “Mason’s Apron” medley has Fermoy Lasses in it.
I’ll try to get my hands on a copy and be more acurate on the tune listing.
Take care 😉

Liner notes are very poor on the CD. I doesn’t even mention the names of the musicians who join Carignan.
Jean Carignan plays fiddle and is joined on all tracks by Glles Losier (piano and feet). Yves Verret plays accordeon on tracks 2, 3 ,6 , 7, 13, 14, 15, and 16.

The second reel is “Over the Moor to Maggie”, thus replicating the medlay as John J. Kimmel used to do it.

Thanks f.pellerin, appreciated…

I made a comeback on this site. My first move is to update the list of tunes on this recording according to f.pellerin comments.
