Doddie’s Dream

Composed by the wonderful Bruce MacGregor in honour of the rugby player Doddie Weir. Bruce, along with an all-star cast, released the tune as a single with all proceeds raising money for the My Name’s Doddie Foundation to fund treatment and prevention of motor neuron disease. The video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCNP2oaTh6U

Re: Doddie’s Dream

The tune is played once through in the tonic key, followed by twice through in the dominant (G major for part 1 and then D major for part 2 in my first setting above). Bruce has shared another recording where he has tuned his fiddle down a tone (across all strings), therefore sounding as F major for part 1 and C major for part 2. That recording is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7imruETDf8

Re: Doddie’s Dream

I was at Blazin’ in Beauly last month, (the week-long workshop lead by Bruce McGregor and the other member of Blazin’ Fiddles), and Doddie’s Dream was played as a wonderful session tune, despite the key change. The key change makes it exciting in a way

Incidently, the guitar player in the first video is the wonderful Anna Massie, also a member of Blazin’ Fiddles, and a darn good fiddle player in her own right.
