Pete plays fiddle with the excellent Rattle on the Stovepipe. A brilliant & inspiring tutor & director of the London Fiddle School, he's also the author of several acclaimed book/CDs, including American Old Time Fiddle (Schott ED 13236).
In this practical Old Time fiddle workshop we'll focus on rhythms, bowing patterns, the use of drone notes, etc. to give an authentic mountain flavour - all in the process of learning some wonderful tunes.
