Since 2006 Gregor Borland has lived in Agost, Spain, and right from the moment he arrived he set about putting his idea for a fiddle camp there into action. So far the fiddle camps have taken place in various locations throughout the Valencian region, offering participants a chance to be immersed in Spanish culture and to get a good sense of "Spanishness" whilst learning intensive Scottish fiddle... This has been achieved with great success!

Greg has just had a cancellation on his Scottish fiddle week in Spain 20-27 September which he's really keen to fill! See www.fiddle-in-spain.webs.com for a general description, and contact him for details. VERY affordable, beautiful surroundings, brilliant teacher, great company, good Spanish wine... can't ask for much more than that.

[Nigel here - as well as being a fabtastic fiddler, Greg is a really nice bloke. I have talked to him in the past about having a mandolin camp at his place in Spain, and it's maybe an idea I can revive before too long. But if you're a fiddler - what's stopping you?]]]> Gregor Borland - one of the finest exponents of traditional Scots fiddle around.

A great tune I learned a few years back from fiddler Clare McLaughlin. It's an Irish polka, possibly from the Coleman era.

The way I teach it is:

Liver Birds - arpeggio; Liver Birds - GF#E; Scale; Ending. Simple!

(Sorry the Tune of the Week is late, but I was exhausted after my 3-week summer schools.)]]> Little Diamond

She's an extremely versatile player in several genres particularly in American styles. A founder member of The SHEE, she is also presently deputising for Luke Plumb in Shooglenifty and fits in very well..I reckon.
