An Introduction to Folk Styles Technique and Improvisation-* This in-depth tutor book from renowned fiddle player and teacher Chris Haigh is perfect for classical violinists and fiddle players looking to master the art. * Covering all aspects of folk violin technique from ornamentation to modes and scales and from scordatura to improvisation and composition. * The book is centred around Irish traditional music but also dips into English Scottish Scandinavian East European Klezmer Cajun and American Old-Time traditions. * Accompanied by a CD of all pieces performed by Chris Haigh with a live backing band. Folk fiddle and classical violin are as different as chalk and cheese. At first glance folk might seem so simpleit?s hardly worth bothering with. The tunes are often no more than 32 bars long they stay in first position and they don?t even have a composer. However it?s what?s NOT written on the page that makes folk fiddle so interesting and challenging.This book attempts to explore from general observation down to the finest detail what the fiddler needs to know to bring these tunes alive. We need to understand their history and context their purpose their structure and pulse. And we need to be able to add all the stylistic elements that come not from reading the music but from years of immersion in folk music both listening and playing.Key areas covered include:* Tune types and structures * Ornamentation * Bowing * Modes and scales * Scordatura * Starts endings and links * Variation improvisation and composition Playing tunes in ?sets? * Regional and individual style * Playing in sessions for contests and for dancing

After Pentangle split in 1973 Bert Jansch returned to his prolific solo career but missed playing in a group context. The Bert Jansch Conundrum came into existence as the 1970s waned. Jansch recorded a solo album called A Rare Conundrum in 1977 with mandolinist Rod Clements and fiddler Mike Piggott as supporting players. When Piggott was unable to go out on a Scandinavian tour Martin Jerkins hired on to play violin on the dates. They hit it off and Nigel Portman-Smith came aboard to play bass. They toured Europe and America. Bert recalled: ?I got to know Martin in that period between the original Pentangle splitting up and the beginning of the eighties. I knew him prettywell and we did a lot of gigs together. At one point we were playing with Rod Clements who used to be in Lindisfarne and Pick Withers on drums - I seem to remember Mike Piggott was involved as well; I?ve been in so many different line-ups I just can?t honestly remember!?The first part of this DVD collection presents Bert Jansch Conundrum in concert recorded in Athens Ohio. This is followed by three tunes by Bert and Martin recorded in 1978 in Stockholm Sweden. The DVD concludes with a documentary that Bert recorded in 1985 that combines interviews solo concert performances and rehearsals.
