I'll have to put my mind to that one - I think you've already mentioned most
of them.
Others who come to mind immediately include John Martin
(Contraband/Ossian/Tannahill Weavers),
George Jackson (Ossian), John McKinnon Alan Barty (both of whom played with
Archie Fisher),
Chuck Fleming and Lindsay ??? (JSD Band). Fife band Heritage also had at
least 3 fiddlers at
various times, but I need to dig out some old albums to get their names. Aly
Bain (of course),
Mike Berry (Setanta and countless sessions). I'm sure there are lots more
...
Regards,
Ted
