Reviews

“This book is a modern classic. Taigh na Teud has produced a string of excellent fiddle books over the years, but his one is a belter. The CD has 68 tunes played by ten fiddlers representing each area, which are worth listening to alone for pleasure.”

John Moar for the Oban Times

“Every fiddler should have this book...”

FromThe Scottish Fiddlers’ Calendar Magazine

“A player’s guide to the regional styles, bowing techniques, repertoire and dances of Scottish Fiddling.” “There is also a CD played on solo fiddle by fiddlers from the different regions.”
