   About Lakeland Fiddlers
The Lakeland Fiddlers formed in 2000, having grown from Adult Education classes held at the Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal and in Ulverston. Lakeland Fiddlers have evolved from being a class, to a community band, appearing regularly at local festivals and fairs, playing for occasional parties and weddings. The Lakeland Fiddlers have appeared at the Sage Gateshead where they had the honour of playing for the “Fiddle Dance” at Fiddles on Fire in April 2007, and on the Drystone stage at Solfest. Recently appearing at Dent Folk Festival and the Furness Tradition Festival, we are now busy recording material for the third album.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Review of the second CD by the Lakeland Fiddlers: We'll All Lye Together

This CD mixes accompanied solos by Carolyn and tracks by the community group The Lakeland Fiddlers, with an emphasis on tunes from old tunebooks from Cumbria. To me, there are elements of Scottish, English and Irish in Carolyn’s playing. If this is the Cumbrian style that seems hardly surprising geographically! She’s a strong punchy player, and an absolute master ‘roll-er’. The Lakeland Fiddlers are clearly well schooled: they’re not just a bunch of fiddlers playing the same tune; there’s unanimity of emphasis etc, but they never slip into sounding orchestral. Their arrangements include intros and pulsing drones but as far as I can tell, there’s no other accompaniment. All in all enjoyable evidence of a living tradition.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

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..? 

(C) David Franks 2003
