Still waiting in the wings!!! So, nothing for it but might as well hang out with some fiddlers.
Amy Corfield is 16 and going places. She was telling me about her band called MAK at Celtic Connections. Last week they played in Danny Kyle's Open Stage event which is in the form of a competition for all-comers.
About seven years ago this little sparkler melted all our hearts when she stool on the stage and played her solo, Ashokan Farewell. You could have heard a pin drop!
Jay Unger talks about how this tune that he wrote always brings him to tears. Amy said that, after a trip to Canada to see her Auntie, she was asked to play it so much she really was getting sick of it! That happens!

Amy has been playing the fiddle with the Bearsden Young Fiddlers since she was 10 years old. (You have to be Grade 3 or above to play in this Junior section of the Bearsden Fiddlers; both orchestras play Scottish fiddle music.) Now the leader of the Young Fiddlers, she offers to play solo performances and has made two albums, kindly donating the profits to charity.
Here she is (last year) busking in Buchanan Street. She had been playing all afternoon with Keegan and Marissa.
