- This programme explores a unique strand of traditional music in Ireland: the fiddle tradition of Donegal. It includes interviews with Caomhin Mac Aoidh and Rab Cherry, co-founders of Cairdeas na bhFidléirí (Friends of the Fiddle) and organisers of a meeting of fiddlers in the village of Glenties, County Donegal, and an annual summer school of Donegal fiddling in Glencolmcille, County Donegal. The programme also features interviews with and performances by James Byrne of Glencolmcille, the brothers Vincent and Jimmy Campbell of Glenties, Mairead Ní Mhaonaigh of the group Altan, and Dermot McLaughlin from Derry. There is also rare footage of the master fiddler John Doherty playing a version of the reel Miss Pattersons Slipper.

Thank You so much for sharing this video
The tune at 5:02 is called Sporting Belles in case anyone ants to know! fun fact, Altan plays that in the Emyvale set in Red Crow! :) but the album calls it "ril gan anim"
A great video. *****:-)
The tune being lilted starting at 3:06 is The Heathery Cruach also known as The Monaghan Switch. Altan play it.
The playing is class but I'm being struck by the way that these old fellas have of telling a story. Beautiful sentence structure!
@martinmcmutrie Haha yeah I wish I was as good as mairead ni mhaonaigh or any of the sligo or donegal players. If you go further south to east galway and then on to tulla in co clare it changes even more! It's crazy how much variance there is in a tiny strip on the west coast. That's something to be proud of anyway!
dazpatreg your cousins across the pond in the Appalachians in America here we are the same way the fiddle music changes by just going over the mountain hahahaha
Haha I went to school with Doherty’s here in the Appalachians I also being what we call scotch Irish by the last name of Patrick would John Doherty be related to the traveling fighter paddy Doherty ? I would suspect so.
@dazpatreg You Sligo folk sure are proud of your styles and musicians! Fair enough too I reckon. I'm Australian, but having driven from Glencolumcille to Sligo Town I'm amazed by the difference in playing style - particularly fiddle. How did that happen? All the best to you.
sshit this woman knows what shes talking about :)
Go deas a bheith ag an'c ar an chlar seo, leirionn se an aileacht is an eagsulacht ata ag baint leis an fhiidl i gceoil traidisiunta na h-Eireann. Ach ta Sligeach go foill an ceann is fearr! haha
Does anyone know the names of the two tunes the lady lilts from 3:05 to 4:20? Thanks.
What is the name of the tune starting at ~5:56?
Benjamin Bruno That's the "21 Highland", played by James Byrne I believe.
