Hornpipes from Steall by Ewen Henderson
I am enormously proud to have hanging from the scroll of my fiddle the world-famous red tassel: a decoration that distinguishes the bearer as a student of the “left-handed fiddler”, Aonghas Grant BEM. Over the years, Aonghas has taught hundreds of fiddlers in the Lochaber area and beyond including all six of my siblings at one point or another. “The Westcoaster” is perhaps his best-known composition. “Festival Frolics” was written in the foggy reckoning of a Celtic Connections final-day spree a few years ago and gives a taste of the sort of hi-jinks that long winter nights are made for!
