RE: Folk Fiddlers

[Jewish Music Institute <jewishmusic...>]

Perhaps some list members would like to list their five most favourite
Klezmer Fiddlers and five most favourite folk fiddlers in other traditions.
Perhaps with a little explanation of the choice.
We are working with the local Irish Folk Fiddle organisation here and also
possibly the Indian Music Circuit.

Geraldine,
I would most highly recommend Cookie Segelstein (member, The Klezical
Tradition plus major freelancing, teaching workshops in fiddling)  to fill
this important position on your festival. She's not only one of the top
klezmer fiddlers in this country but she also performs traditional Hungarian
village/country tunes with great spirit, abondon and polish.  (And, as a
bonus you can have a little Irish if those shoes haven't been filled!)
Classically trained as well, if the Menuhin committee would want to know,
with Masters degree from Yale. The works. You won't regret it.... I might,
as
it's hard to fill her boots when she's away! But don't let that stop
you....Go for it. Very seriously.
