I composed this tune over ten years ago. A friend said it reminded him of the tune 'The flowers of Edinburgh' and suggested I call it 'The flowers of Glasgow', well the name has stuck and it has been called that ever since.

This piece is magic, sir. When I pressed 'play' my House was full of children yelling and crying. After the first few seconds of this piece sounding, the house was silent, all my children had appeared and were dancing like little angels behind me. The moment the piece ended, the yelling and crying started again.
That's amazing, so sorry I haven't replied sooner, I've only just discovered your comment. Your story reminds me of the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin', thank you for sharing.
What a charming anecdote; thank you!
Oh, you poor creature.😂 Fighting kids are no fun.
This song deserves to be ranked with the all time standards of fiddle music. It's a great one.
It sounds so expertly written; great job.❤ I hope that someday I'll be as good at the fiddle as you.
May God bless you and yours.
You sure you weren't born In another time ....? Fantastic! Sir !!!
My grandfather (dad’s side) used to play this on the violin when he was alive. We loved hearing this. Thanks for the memories.
Hope to be giving this a whirl asap, Thanks for your magnificent video I love your playing such warmth, 🎉🎉🎉
I can listen to this over and over. Such an uplifting piece of music. Well done!
This song deserves a million likes Sir. Greetings from an Irish music lover from Morocco 👋
If I keep stabbing my finger on the like button enough times, I guess I could do it after a few weeks, haha
Thank you for your nice comment and best wishes.
This is a Scottish song its called the flower of Glasgow
Alright Dave? Nice playing. Thanks😁
Im american an i love this sounds like my favorite bluegrass music i have deep roots in england,irwland,Scotland and wales 😊
One of the best fiddlers I have ever seen and heard!
Pretty tune. I'm not sure where it lies on the celtoid spectrum. I have to say how much I enjoy your tone. There's a very pleasing buttery warmth to your playing. I think your restraint with speed might have something to do with it. The notes have time to form. Puts me in mind of John Hartford's playing. Thank you for the music.
Hey Chris, that was beautiful! So melodic and with such a sweet sound from your fiddle too. I see by the comments this is at least 3 years old, and I don't know how I missed it!
Great work.
I really love your swagger with the fiddle , I hope I can develop some style like you instead of my standard bows strokes with out any rhythm , your music has loads of character, very enjoyable , thank you peakfiddler
I never knew the name of this tune. Thank you. Great fiddling job!
fantastic tone, flow and feel... Bravo!
Wonderful sir. I've got it stuck in my head. Now I just need to translate it to my mandolin. Thanks for sharing.
awesome
This piece is absolutely beautiful. It some how brings back a sense of youth and nostalgia. Keep up the great work ❤️
Thank you! Will do!
wonderful
Never heard this one...hope to learn it. Just great!
Please do!
I Am having so much fun playing along with this it’s crazy.
Lovely job there, Chris! Such a solid rhythm and sweet sound from your fiddle too.
I immediately thought of Flowers of Edinburgh when I heard this tune. This is definitely played in an American old time fiddle style. It would be interesting to illustrate how Scottish tunes crossed the pond and became something else, although I know that didn’t happen to this tune because it is an original composition of yours. I think it would be really interesting to play Flowers of Edinburgh and Flowers of Glasgow back to back because those two cities are always competing about everything. I am a little disappointed that this was not the result of a competition.☺️🎻
I tried recording those two the other evening when I read your comment, but wasn't totally happy with the result, so will give it a go another time.
Yes,it plays very much as a possible follow- on to the Flowers of Edinburgh in the A part,lovely,great swing. We olay the former,aling with Soldiers' Joy, for the Lucky 7 dance and this would be a nice variation.
nice to hear a tune at a steady pace instead of 100 miles an hour like a lot of players do these days
Great tune!
outstanding! I love all your fiddling but this is my favorite.
Man what a tune, this is fantastic!
Why are you going, wow I love this Irish music when its must be Scottish, like where fiddle music originally come from in the first place along with the band pipes, are they Irish too , 🙃😃😂
Now that is just beautiful! An absolutely cracking tune and brilliantly played. 👍😉
Just been accompanying you on guitar to this - key of D. Love it.
This tune seems to work pretty well on the banjo as well, which I remember correctly may have been the instrument I first came up with the melody. Great to hear that you are enjoying playing along on guitar as well.
I love it! From a fiddle playing descendant of Neil Gow in New Zealand...
This is a great toe tapping tune 💞
Great tune!
Thanks for uploading!
Love this tune!
Lovely 🌹
Magnificent tune by all means!!!!
Great tune! Definitely adding this to my must learn list.
Pretty sweet.
Superb tune. Happy, melodious and nicely played. Thanks. 👍😉
You should publish your songs as a book or ebook! I'd buy it.
It’s so hard to believe such a small nation has give the world so very much, in Southern West Virginia where I live the Irish influence is everywhere, our Music, Art, Cooking and sayings, Thank You 🇮🇪!!!
Glasgow is in scotland.this tune sounds scottish,not irish
Nothing to do Ireland
Oh and this man is ENGLISH
A wonderful melody, friend! I have picked it out on guitar banjo.now trying to do it on fiddle.
I have a feeling that this melody first came about whilst I was playing the banjo
wow! very much enjoyed! one of the best i have heard
Glad to hear that!
makes me feel better about not playing with a shoulder rest! I get a lot of flack for it!
I wrote a song close to that! Nice! I am a fiddle player too! Good-day!
This is a great song
Hello my friend. I'm learning your songs on the fiddle and I'm having a blast. What a blessing you are... Thanks!
Glad you are enjoying these tunes Terry
Love it!
très beau Merci . Pourriez vous me dire quel archet vous utilisé et la marque du violon ? Très beau son
bellissima!!
Outstanding.
I love this. Since hearing it I walk around humming it. Going to learn it on fiddle tonight. Thank you so much!
Fantastic, so glad you like this tune..
great job.
This is a wonderful tune and I have been jamming along to another tune you posted - Old Time Fiddle Tune which has been immense fun. I have been playing banjo solo for a couple of years but can’t quite pin point the tuning I need to be in for playing along to this piece. I see there is a clip of you accompanying on banjo so I wonder if you could help me with the tuning please? Thank you for posting!
Tune to double C tunng, then place a capo on the 2nd fret. That was the tuning usually go for after G tuning. Double D, effectively allows a lot of fiddle tunes to be played on a 5 string banjo.
great tune - 99% Not the flowers of Edinburgh
Just what I was thinking......
Beautiful!!!!!!!
Love this original by you. It is so easy to listen too. Thank you my friend for sharing. Marie
👏
Играй музыкант, просто и доступно, и это прекрасно
As always, a great tune played superbly! Thanks!
Once again, thank you sir for your great music. One question... Is there a backtrack for this song without the fiddle? Thank you!
Long lost now, old hard drive corrupted and I lost a lot of good stuff
This one’s a natural.
Hi Peak fiddler. What a fantastic little tune and very well played as well. Not that I am questioning anything but I make out that you played it like this ABBABBCBBAABB. Is this correct with the lovely C part only played once? Andy
The ABBABB etc are the tune parts NOT notes
It's not a C part, it's just the A part played up an octave.
I like your hair.
Wow, this sounds so beautiful !!!! Makes a happy feeling :-)
Hi,A lovely tune, and ewll played.Any chance of getting sheet music or ABC for this one? Thanks.
woooooow
Happy Happy sounding tune this is. I don't see the notes at the session :(
I'm afraid this one isn't on-line at the moment, even though loads of my original tunes seem to be all over the web. I will get round to sorting out the abc and upload when I get a moment next week.
When I grow up I want play like that
This is similar the Flowers of Edinburgh
this is great! Thanks for the tune! is it on the session? :)
+Clã Jardim I'm afraid not as it's one of mine. I'll notate it out for you and let you know when I have added it to my facebook page.
@@peakfiddler Did you produce the notation anywhere please ?. I want to play it on my autoharp (dont cringe - I'll stay out of the way until it's recognisable !)
Apologies - just seen the Twitter post - many thanks , great tune
@@johnbrimblecombe9359 Hi John, yes I left a link to the notation in the video description, also the abc code for anyone who likes to drop the tune into their ABC editor.. Incidentally, nothing wrong with the autoharp, the bass player in my first folk rock band frequently used his on gigs and recordings, it added a unique sound. Here is the notation link again: ruclips.net/user/redirect?redir_token=9meRTVdO1EIK8NN0_7z1PXGL1ZF8MTU3NjQyNjIwN0AxNTc2MzM5ODA3&event=video_description&v=azwTVW7mgsI&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FDXtqXSkX0AMpIo3.jpg%3Alarge
Tasteful,,,,Cracking
Babru Babrutoo. .wonderful song
great song! Do you have notation for it? thanks
I put a link in the description which takes you to my twitter page where uploaded the musicial notation
@@peakfiddler thanks for the reply, sorry I didn't click the "see more" to drop down and see the link
@@jseiver no problem, I too always struggle to locate the information box when I'm watching a RUclips video on my mobile phone. Sometimes I just give up and go watch video on my desktop. Hope you found the musical notation ok in the end
I clicked on the link for notation but nothing pops up...is it still available good sir?
Hi Adam, the Facebook link seems to have died, so I have added the abc notation file in the video description. so you can print out using your preferred abc editor
Love this fiddiling.
Also, I have uploaded the notation to Twitter and included the link in the tune description.
How old were you when you began playing?
Late teens, bought a couple of tune a day books and taught myself
@@peakfiddler this is amazing the fact that you taught yourself to play the fiddle from a book! Growing up I had zero music influence. At 66 years of age I am just discovering the joy of music through Irish Trad music, Old Time music, and through people like you. RUclips is a great resource. I absolutely love fiddle music and if I could start over, I would take up the fiddle. Do you have any CD's?? Where in England are you? Thank you for blessing us!
@@raerae3968 So far I have only really recorded videos, since the advent of the internet and RUclips. Never really got involved with recording studios or such like, always stuck to playing live music. So no Cd's as such. Peak District, UK
Sounds like the beginning of laughing boy.
Is there notation for this reel?
Hi Duane, I'm not sure if I ever got round to doing this one, but will certainly check.
If not, I will add it to my 'to do' list and let you know when it is done.
Notation now added to my FaceBook page goo.gl/8Kctij
I am internet person
This makes me jiggle
Yeee ha
Um, it's Edinburgh actually. Flowers of Edinburgh. Opposite side of the country.
That is a completely different tune and one which I have made another video for. I know exactly where Edinburgh is and also Glasgow, having been to both cities on lots of occasions.
If you took the trouble to read the video description you will get some idea why I named the tune 'Flowers of Glasgow' when I composed it many years ago.
This song makes me think of going to the county fair
That's an interesting and pleasant thought, thanks for sharing
