Thanks for sharing Len, this is a great film. That would have been a great bunch of fiddlers to get a tune with. While I was watching the first part of the film my Dad asked who was playing, he said the tunes were like the standards they would dance to in the Fetlar Hall in Shetland when he was growing up. Definitely a strong Scottish connection in the music.
17:12 - what is the song Frank plays here? I heard it in another video on UA-cam called “tuktoyaktuk longest day of the year” showing the beautiful midnight sun. ☀️ Any ideas? Thanks and love from Australia! 🇦🇺
I spent a great week in his company up in Inuvik at the Gt Northern Arts Festival when he and I were both invited to provide the music. He must be a great miss but I see that his son Alvin and Brennan Firth are keeping up the tradition. Brennan's Gt gt grandfather was and HBC man from my home town of Stromness in Orkney.
Yes, Scottish tunes for sure. 👍😕

Just heard that Colin sadly passed away on the 3rd Dec '21. He will be a big miss in his community. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I believe it's his own tune - I didn't catch the name, if he mentioned it.
I remember Colin in Coppermine.

I've forgotten the singer's name. If any of you can identify him please let me know. He was in Inuvik for the whole week of the festival.
3RD player is my Grandfather Frank Cockne
It was a pleasure to meet him Janelle.
What is the name of the piece Kole Crook is playing near the end?
Sorry Samuel, I'm not able to help you with that one.
