What a treat this collection of Graham's playing is . It's just like how he played as the guest lperformer at the Old Time Fiddlers' Contests held in Barre, Vermont. He was an amazing fiddler and I thank you for making it possible to hear his music once again.
I Remember this remarkable Graham Townsend from when he was at the fiddler's contest in Wabamun Alberta 1983. Him and his wonderful wife Eleanor will forever be my favorite fiddle performers. Your music lives forever in our hearts. Thank you both for such a blessed gift you share with all of us who hear your beautiful fiddler talent.
Graham was a great guy, he was close with my uncle Johnny ( Johnny Mooring ), he used to come visit with my grandmother from time to time. I am no stranger to this music
Barbara Lubell asked for the names of the tunes: 0:04 High Level Hornpipe 1:20 Crooked Stove Pipe 2:20 Mitton's Breakdown 3:18 Big John McNeil 4:17 Ste. Anne's Reel 5:15 Don Messer's Breakdown 6:14 Londonderry Hornpipe 7:13 Lightning Hornpipe 8:11 Angus Campbell
I think it comes down to personal opinion. She is one of the best love her playing as well. I still like graham the best. But she ranks up there as one of the best along with the likes of Ed Gyurki And Johnny mooring.
No but he did go blind.. lost his sight starting in the mid 70's. saw him drop a room key on the stage and had to feel around with his fingers to find it.. we danced that night.. he was a marvelous player and person.

You're welcome
Amazing how he changes keys on the run as they say. Great.
He was one of the few Canadian champs my father couldnt beat at Shelburne in the early 60's!
GRAHAM TOWNSEND IS ONE OF THE BEST FIDDLER PLAYER I HAVE EVER RESPECT AS THE BEST IN FIDDLE HISTORY IN THIS WORLD.
DEFINATELY THE BEST FIDDLER THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN OR LIKELY TO SEE!

WOW
I agree
THAT MADE YOUR FEET TAP.
Anyone know tune names?
Patti Lamoureux is more down to earth and a better fiddle player in my book
She learned from Mr. Townsend. She says so a lot.
He took his own life in 2003.
not true...cancer
Dear lord he died of cancer in 1997 or 98 , get your facts straight
