Fiddle Music - Non-Irish
La Bottine Souriante is a Quebecois fiddle band that has been performing for over 30 years. They create a unique blend of folk music, based on music from Scotland, Ireland, France and England and more modern forms of rock and jazz. A live performance by this band will have you hopping, the music and energy are completely infectious. There are a number of videos on Youtube of the band in performance....I have not had time to go through them but will try and get an idea of what is there and relay if anyone is interested. Cheers, element.

Dear Element,
From my own point of view, you have my absolution... no need to apologize..! ;-)
I recently got the first cd of LUNASA, and was very pleased and surprised when I listened to track 6, which begins with Fleur de Mandragore, a compo from Michel Bordeleau, former "Smilling Boot" member...
Cheers!

Hello Element...
i am just going through all the posts here and checking the status.
Please feel free to add more of NON IRISH Fiddle music.
I saw La Bottine Souriante years ago on a festival in St.Cartier (France) and they were just rocking the Place. Could you please explain what it is with the stepping wodden shoes??
All the best

will be performing at Temple Bar Tradfest ( http://templebartrad.com/ )
as well as Michael McGoldrick and friends
on Friday January 30th 2009, at the Button Factory...
Quite a show I'm sure that will be..!!!!
May all the lucky persons that will be there enjoy their time...! Sincerely..!
