We’re learning this tune in our beginners fiddle Zoom lessons. I shared this amazing version with my new fiddle friends across the pond. They said, “Just saw the link and played it...just WOW! Thanks for sharing. I had a laugh because J said the history was interesting...I couldn’t understand a single word!!” and “I laughed too because I listened 3 times to the history before I understood everything he said. it was sooo.. beautiful! Thank you Jeannette. Definitely inspirational and something to aim for.” Haha - my grandparents were Scots and so this accent is exactly what I grew up hearing.and it didn’t occur to me that they’d struggle! To be fair, we’ll all struggle more with playing like that but, as they said, beautiful & inspirational!
Absolutely superb .... My word that was fantastic. I'm just learning to play this and didn't know the history of the tune or of Fighting Mac .... I will do my level best to make sure I play this with the respect it deserves. Thank you Fingal
That was absolutely beautiful.....the best version Ive heard.....I enjoyed it immensely !! I learned this tune but don't do it justice. Thank you for sharing your talent.
@@fingalcromar95 absolutely love your accent ❤ ! And thank you for the beautiful music!! The subtitle computer software couldn't translate words, thats all 🤣
WOW amazing playing Paul your fiddle really sings. Learnt this at feis rois in Dingwall. Saw you 22/9 at the marquee in Grantown on Spey in the square, your music was amazing there too with the orchestra...
I play violin in Australia. I am exploring Scottish fiddle music but there is not a lot of good quality stuff out there to go from and when people write scottish( any folk music) it gets lost in translation because there is no stsyematic way to record what makes it so different. I used to live in Edinburgh but was only just starting to play violin then. Regardless you need to keep recording- this really is the best version I have heard. Ive spent all night researching the piece 'Hector the Hero' because the string ensemble I play in wants to write an arrangement and add maybe a couple of other pieces to make it a set buy I am really unconfident that we can do it justice- not sure how to get the ornamentation sp everyone can do it in sync but not sound like plastic... I dont know lol....... Oh and your accent is sooo strong- play your videos back and put the captions on underneath if you want a laugh- computer has no idea what you are saying lol Anyway, the long and short of it is that I get nervous playing classical violin and thought maybe the styles that require more interpretation and performer input might help me feel calmer when playing in front of people- hence traditional folk music :-) :-) :-)
I dont know if you are on Facebook but i hope you dont mind that I shared some of your playing :-):-):-) I wanted my students have the chance to hear you :-) :-)
@@barbr4949 just heading out but I'll try to give you a detailed reply sometime over the next couple of days. Playing with and having lessons from good exponents makes a huge difference; failing that listening to as much good traditional playing as you can (there's some real crap as well as good stuff so be careful). Hector MacAndrew is a good place to start for Scots fiddle but a limited amount on UA-cam.
Absolutely beautiful. As a piper, this has always been one of my favorite tunes borrowed from the the fiddle.
Thanks John.

Thanks Jeanette, sorry the dialogue is a little tricky. All the best, Paul.
Beautiful and so very emotional. Thank you for everything you do!
If only you could play at my grandfathers funeral the first week of January next year. Alexander (Sandy) Lawson. 91 years old. Will be sorely missed.
Such a beautiful tune superbly played by a master. Truly inspiring Paul!
