Bio
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. .. .. .. ..........

Sounds Like
smooth, 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

Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details): A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001
Out of the museum-and-gallery
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way),
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me,
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay;
Before, on either side, Marine Parks -
The southern-one a most beautiful place,
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards
In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base.
Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above)
Onto the South Pier I made my way:
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove -
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood,
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun,
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
(C) David Franks 2003
