Well, Ken Perlman came over to Scotland and played a couple of gigs,
including one I organised in Edinburgh. I would say the majority of music
he played was of Scottish origin, and I'm including tunes from PIE and
Cape Breton as being in the Scottish style. Ken has studied the fiddle
music of Eastern Canada, so he knows his stuff; still, it was difficult
getting over the barrier of hearing this music played in clawhammer banjo
and fingerstyle guitar.
It's a pity that so few people came to see the gig, but those that did
were very enthusiastic.
