WELSH CELTIC FIDDLE 2006
Workshop Weekend and Competition

GARETH WESTACOTT



Last year, Gareth gave one of his first workshops at Stackpole, and said that he learnt more about giving workshops from it! He comes from Cardiff and is a highly regarded fiddler, and singer.

Plays as part of duo Toreth with Guto Harris. They have taken a number of the old Welsh tunes that were plundered by the hymn writers of the 19th Century and have re-interpreted them as Folk Dance Melodies. Their recently released CD has a selection of terrific music and song, with evidence of musical influences from all over Europe. The Breton, Gypsy and Eastern European influences are clear and strong.
