Sounds Likesmooth, perfectly controlled fiddling... effortless, the true mark of great musicians. -Alex Monaghan, Living Tradition; Davis, California, must be one of that state's less laid-back outposts because fiddler Gabe McVarish fits right in with the hurly-burly. -Rob Adams, The Herald; McVarish is stunning and hits you in the solar plexus harder than a broadsword. -Will Lamb, Am Paipear; Gabe McVarish really shines on fiddle... McVarish has a very strong style of playing, with a lilting up-bow. I would not be the least bit surprised to find that McVarish has Shetland roots. -Cheryl Turner, Rambles.net. (p.s.- I don't!); the most impressive live performance I have ever witnessed. -Chris Cooper, spiritdancercanoejournys.ca

   About Gabe McVarish
Californian born Gabe McVarish was twice winner of the All American Junior Scottish fiddle championship before returning back to his ancestral homeland of Arisaig in the West Highlands. His playing in Europe, the Americas, and as far afield as North Africa has earned him the reputation of being one of the hottest tickets in the fiddling world. Having earned his BA in traditional music at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Gabe has played and recorded with a rich diversity of bands including Cliar, Croabh Rua, Dibidil, Corner House, Hoogie, Its Jo & Danny, The Black Rose Ceilidh Band, and Phamie Gow. Gabe plays regularly with Dannsa, and is one of the founding members of Daimh and is much sought after for dances on the West Coast and the Islands.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace...
Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details): 
CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY

As gospellers have said,
Beneath signalling skies,
On land dusty to tread,
A trough in a stable
Was the strawy first-bed
Of a divine baby -
The forgiving Godhead.

A season for new hope -
There then and here now;
The yuletide of goodwill -
There then and here now.

In respect of this chance,
Beneath bright or dark skies,
Faith's the star that we glance
Attending Christ's churches
And trying to enhance,
With singing and ritual,
Our God-loving stance.

A...

Gabe - Thanks for the add! I enjoyed listening to your music over dinner! The music sounds terrific! Let me know when your playing in the Chicago area. Oak Brook usually host some highland games and usually has musicians come in and play at the Polo grounds.
Thanks again for the add! Take care - Pat
