My colleague, Hugh Smith, was in touch with you a few months ago
on the subject of left-handed fiddlers. I don't know how much
he said about the background but the topic arose out of a fiddle
group which I run in Blackford, Perthshire ( Blackford's sole
claim to fame is that it's
where Highland Spring mineral water is bottled).
I've been trying to establish a culture through the village primary
school in which playing
the fiddle is regarded as a part of normal life rather than something
exotic which especially talented people do. It's been pretty interesting
in many ways but, to come to the point, I've set up a web
site as part of the process of keeping them all involved and interested.
