The Arnisdale Fiddler and the Fairy

Available for over a year

Musician Allan Henderson was taught by the great fiddler Aonghas Grant. Aonghas gave Allan the tune 'Dalshangie' and shared the story of the Arnisdale fiddler, Neil Campbell, who was on his way home from playing at a wedding in Knoydart and chanced upon a fairy. The fairy admired his playing and gave him an enchanted bow. This tune is said to have come from Neil and his enchanted bow. Allan visits Arnisdale to share the story of the tune and play it in the place it was born.
