I wrote the tunes in this slideshow, in memory of the late Sam Stevenson, of Broughshane Co. Antrim, who was a well respected Fiddle Maker & Fiddle Player.
Sam Stevenson
Sam was actually a founder member of the Derry & Antrim Fiddlers & had a great fondness for the fiddle playing of Shetland Fiddler Willie Hunter, especially his playing of Slow Airs.
Over the years Sam repaired many of my students Fiddles & Bows, he was always easy to pay & always did a first class job.
The tunes I composed in memory of Sam & play here are the Hornpipe 'Sam Stevenson's', the Strathspey The Derry & Antrim Fiddlers' & the Reel 'The Braid Burn'.
Musicians:
Dick Glasgow: Fiddle, Mandolin, Octave Mandolin, Jews Harp & Bodhran
&
Ciaran Kelly: Guitar
Cheers,
Dick
