Laoise Kelly

The above setting comes fron Johnny Wilmot (1916-93) a Cape Breton fiddler well versed in Cape Breton and Irish style. The above reel epitomizes those types of cross-overs. First recorded by Irish fiddler Michael Coleman the tune is actually a setting of a popular 4 turn 18th century Scottish strathspey,The Braes of Bushbie by John Bowie.

The MP3 comes from Irish harpest Laoise Kelly. Her setting suits her instrument beautifully ... though, because of the position work, fiddlers might find it difficult.
