Abbie's sparkly personality, rhythmic fiddling, and fast footwork has left an impression on the Boston Celtic scene. Abbie started fiddle at the age of 9 under the tutelage of Hanneke Cassel. She has been instructed by the likes of Buddy MacMaster, Jerry Holland, Stan Chapman and Alasdair Fraser. Abbie also is becoming a talented bodhrán player, having played since January 2005, under the instruction of Matt Heaton.
Abbie also is an experienced dancer, who has been dancing since the age of four. She blends Highland Dance and Cape Breton step dance with clogging, sean-nos, and Irish step dancing to create a unique style.
Abbie is currently living in Scotland, majoring in Celtic Studies at the University of Edinburgh. You can usually find her in the pub.
Dear Abbie MacQuarrie, It's after Halloween and the busy holidays are approaching. Take a break and drop by to listen to my featured songs. You may find my music to be just the calm you need during this hectic time of the year. I appreciate your friendship and I hope you enjoy the music. I wish you much joy and peace.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
