In fairness, we have been tangentially involved with the Reiner Family's "Fiddle Hell" from practically the beginning, some ten years ago. So in all fairness we must also recommend it, which, unfortunately if you wanted to attend both, run the same weekend.
There are two parts, for hard core fiddlers and for the general public.
Traditional Fiddle Concert at Fiddle Hell Gathering, Westford Regency Inn, 219 Littleton Rd, Westford, MA. This epic concert is followed by an easy contradance (stay to listen or dance). Tickets are $15 at the door. Free parking.
Concert fiddlers and their styles:
Alan Jabbour (oldtime Appalachian)
Andrea Beaton (Cape Breton)
Andy Reiner (world, bluegrass)
Christian Howes (jazz)
Dave Reiner (bluegrass, swing)
Eric Favreau (French Canadian)
Frank Ferrel (New England)
Lissa Schneckenburger (Scottish, New England)
Laurel Martin (Irish)
Pete Sutherland (oldtime Appalachian)
