Around The World

This is the first album by Fiddlers’ Bid from 1994 when they were in their late teens and before Michael Ferrie died. Over 60 minutes of music, they just can’t keep away from the reels so the two sets that start with jigs (tracks 2 and 6) quickly move on to reels.
The tunes on track 4 are mazurkas.

“The tunes on track 4 are mazurkas”. Track #3 ?
I remember meeting Michael Ferrie when he joined in a session we were having at an Orkney Folk Festival some years back. After a few sets of tunes he leaned across to me and said “What part of Ireland does du come fae ?”. Since we’d been playing quite a few Irish tunes, I took that as a great compliment.
I also met and played with him again several times when he was in Aberdeen. A very talented musician, and a tragic loss at such a young age. RIP.

Aye Kenny, my bad (an auld sums dominie whae cannae count). Track 3 are indeed the mazurkas.
