I've been trying to find out anything/everything about that punk-fiddle gig from the Opening Ceremonies last night. So far I'm coming up with NOTHING.
Instead, I'm going to post the tweets Google decided would be a reasonable substitute for REAL INFORMATION. Ready, go:
Interrupt my usual book tweets to tweet about the Olympics: have learned from this ceremony that Quebec is a punk-rock fiddling hell

Pretty nice Olympic opening. Especially the goth-Irish-fiddling-punk-tap dancing awesomeness.
- retak
RT @planetrussell: Canada rocking the unique, punk/funk/folk fiddle-'n-dance sequence at #Vancouver #Olympics. Visuals? Think Mad Max me ...

So I've decided I'm never going to be interested in any non-punk rock tap dancing fiddle playing olympics again.

Ok, I'm back. I found something:
ReplyDelete"The main fidler is Ashley MacIsaac, who is originally from Nova Scotia." by Alan Abrahamson.
"Moments later amid a carpet of red maple leafs, Cape Breton’s Ashley MacIsaac and tap soloist Brock Jellison added some heat into the night as over 200 tap dancers and dancing fiddlers, created an explosive, fiery beat. Keeping the rhythm at a pace were fiddlers Calvin Vollrath, André Brunet, Daniel Lapp, Samantha Robichaud, Sierra Noble, and April Verch." skitrax.com
