14th July (early evening) 2018 at the Lemon Tree (Studio), Aberdeen.

North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) (free event), www.northatlanticfiddle.com/.

Country: Canada. Style: Métis.

Lineup: Anne Lederman (fiddle), Capucine Onn (fiddle).

This play with plenty of tunes was billed as "one woman’s journey into the world of Canadian Aboriginal fiddling". Written by Anne Lederman it relates how she discovered Manitoba Métis fiddle music in 1980s and the impact of three men in particular: Carl Grexton, Grandy Fagnan and Lawrence ‘Teddy Boy’ Houle. Originally a solo storytelling/fiddling performance, it was re-written in 2004 as a two-person theatrical event. Capucine Onn played the young Lederman, while Lederman played those she met as well as providing some reflections on her experience. I saw Anne Lederman earlier at NAFCo in a concert of Métis music with Alicia and Liam Blore (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157700851451275/).
