about

Probably one of the most beautiful flowing dance styles, and a form of tune we wish was played more over here in the US.

"A strathspey is a type of dance tune in 4/4 time. It is similar to a hornpipe but slower and more stately, and contains many dot-cut ‘snaps’. A so-called Scottish snap is a short note before a dotted note, which in traditional playing is generally exaggerated rhythmically for musical expression. An example of a strathspey would be the song “The Bonnie Banks O’ Loch Lomond”, provided it is sung staccato:"
- Wikipedia

This set takes Mark back to his band days in Dundee. Maureen and Ann Rutherford (sisters) were both fabulous musicians and a great influence on him. The second tune was written by Angus Fitchet. Angus and his brother Alec were influential fiddlers in the Tayside area, and Mark shared many stages with both of them. Mark counts them amongst the people that guided and supported his “style searching”. He used to play the first tune for the “Highland Fling” when he played for dancers Gareth and Deryck Mitchelson – good friends, and 10 times World Champions (www.toeandheel.com).

This set is named in honor of our good friend and benefactor Kyle Giacco, ESQ.
