“Well, John Doherty's playing was very unique. He bowed a lot and used staccato, while I slur a bit. I bow a lot as well, but I do a bit of playing a few notes with the one bow. As you go south there's more slurring with the bow. As you go north there's more bowing every note. But sometimes you get the combination of the two in Donegal.” WellsTwoSometimesUsedBitsUniqueNotesSouthCombinationBowsSlurs Author:Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh
“I just love Cape Breton fiddling! I think it's very close. They derive their music from Scottish music. Well, in Donegal we're very influenced by Scottish music as well. Independently the two areas became very alike, because they kind of changed the music a bit from Scotland and we did the same.” ThinkingWellsKindTwoBitsChangedAreasScotlandScottishCapesCape Breton Author:Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh
