Attention all Fiddle Makers & lovers of that gentle Art.

Michael Costello has put together a fascinating website on:

‘The legendary County Antrim fiddle maker - Hugh Gordon’.

“His love of music led him to show a great interest in the strong tradition of Ulster Scots fiddle music in the South Antrim area which was frequently performed in the open air, particularly at fairs, markets and other social gatherings in neighbouring towns and villages such as Antrim, Crumlin, Glenavy, Lisburn, Ballyclare, Moira, Lurgan and of course, Belfast.”

It makes for fascinating reading & there are some great photographs too plus details from the Simpson/Gordon tune manuscript.
