Folk fiddle is a great deal of fun when you get a whole roomful of people doing it as we did in Aston Clinton last Saturday. Rehearsing for the January fiddle rally in Aylesbury. I can't really do the fast tunes but when there are loads of people who can you just move your bow up and down and look convincing.
I want to get good at it - so I have been practising. Trouble is the calluses you get on the ends of the fingers of your left hand. OK unless you want to make lace or read braille as well I suppose.
Makes me think about the blind fiddler in the song - perhaps he didn't read braille...
