My wife won a pair of tickets to a Scotish Christmas featuring the fiddle player Bonnie Rideout.
Anyone ever heard of her?
You two are very lucky, she is fantastic! Just so you can understand how I think of her, she is the Chieftain Gold of fiddlers!
…and I’m jealous!
You can get good listen at CDBaby.com, in fact, until your heart’s content:

My cd picks are:
Kindred Spirits, Celtic Circles, Scottish Reflections, and A Scottish Christmas.
She’s great on fiddle, and viola-in fact she’s tempting me to take up the viola! She plays with such feeling and expression, and as you might have guessed, she’s my favorite Celtic fiddler! Enjoy!
You can listen to an archived one hour live performance of Bonnie Rideout by typing her name in the search box here:
http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/millennium/archive.html#search
This is the Kennedy Center Millenium Stage site, where there are over 2,000 one hour performances available. Type anyone’s name you’re interested in (Lunasa, Flook, The Cottars, etc.) and there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find them.
Best wishes,
Jerry

Just checked out the site and watched some Bonnie Rideout. I believe I’ll have a great time in Dec with her and in March with Lunasa
