Josh Taerk - Delighting audience for Canadian Celtic music

Celtic music is alive and flourishing in Canada and has been for many years. Celtic music is mostly Irish and Scottish music and is linked largely in Canada to Scottish diaspora in Newfoundland and Cape Breton. Fiddles, tin flutes, pipes and string instruments like guitars and mandolins are prevalent in the Celtic music world.

The late John Allan Cameron, of Inverness in the Cape Breton, was considered by most musicologists to be the Godfather of Canadian Celtic music. With his big twelve string guitar and swirling kilt, John Allan have transmitted the Celtic music to the main stage, opening for pop megastar and fellow Canadian, Anne Murray. Cameron would add his bagpipes on stage at some point in the show and wow the audience with genuine Scottish and Celtic songs. He would then switch to a John Prine song or another popular song of the day; therefore bridging the gap between the Celtic and Pop world.

To say John Allan paved the road and opened the door for the Celtic musicians and singers of the Canadian Celtic community would be a gross understatement. The success of Rita MacNeil, Natalie MacMaster, The Rankin Family and countless others is due in a large way to the ground breaking work of John Allan Cameron. Growth of Newfoundland's favorite sons, Great Big Sea, cemented Celtic music in the ears and minds of a huge demographic of Canadians. No longer the music of an older generation, groups like the Mahones and the Drop Kick Murphys are bringing their brand of Celtic music to a whole new generation.

Long live Celtic pride and Celtic music!!!

The Fiddle $150 North American Fiddle Music: A Research and Information Guide is the first large-scale annotated bibliography and research guide on the fiddle traditions of the United States and Canada. These countries, both of which have large immigrant populations as well as Native populations, have maintained fiddle traditions that, while sometimes faithful to old-world or Native styles, often feature blended elements from various traditions. Therefore, researchers of the fiddle traditions in these two countries can not only explore elements of fiddling practices drawn from various regions of the world, but also look at how different fiddle traditions can interact and change. In addition to including short essays and listings of resources about the full range of fiddle traditions in those two countries, it also discusses selected resources about fiddle traditions in other countries that have influenced the traditions in the United States and Canada.
