Fiddle in Quebec

Quebec has one of the most vibrant and distinctive fiddle traditions in Canada, including strong influences from France, Ireland and Scotland.In this mini-documentary I outline the history of French Canadian fiddling, the chief characteristics of the style, and examine some of the key players past and present.

Gratefully received Chris. First came upon La Belle Catherine as played by Celtic Fiddle Festival and it blew me away. I learnt to play. Actually to be accurate still learning it. Also love Reel Robertval and others. Québécois fiddling really is where it’s at.
