you MUST see this young lad's show. He is spectacular. Like a cross
between Nigel Kennedy and your local fiddler at the pub, with a bit of dance
music and grunge thrown in for good measure. He fiddles and step-dances, has a
decent back-up band, and plays something for everyone. I defy you to keep your
feet still while listening to him play.

and well-deserved-- the man's just about a legend in this country.

If you're in Canada this summer, check it out. The Fergus fest is a
good time. If Ashley MacIssac comes to a location near you, and you have any
kind of love for fiddle music, go see him.
