Murray Jowett - Violin

About

“The difference between a violin and a fiddle is that you can spill your beer on a fiddle.”

                                                                                                                               -Antonio Stradivari

I’ve spilled plenty of beer on my fiddle. I've poured river water out of it. I sweat on it, saw on it, and make it sing. I play tunes from a few traditions, but mostly like improvising and collaborating.

Lately I’ve been teaching for Frontier School Division and playing for folk/contra dances. (pegcitycontra@proton.me)

Taking bookings for classical violin and fiddle tunes, and welcome interest in collaboration – theatre, banging on pots, dance, spoken word.
