Paperback. Condition: Good. Second Edition. "To audiences both at home and throughout the world, traditional music is arguably the finest, most varied and best-loved manifestation of Irish culture. This superb book records one of the most interesting aspects of this art - that of the solo fiddlers of Tyrone and Donegal. Allen Feldman's text captures the atmosphere and excitement of the performances and gives a lucid, fascinating account of the historical and social background of the subject.
