Kevin Burke solo fiddle - Tuttle's reel set

Kevin Burke gave another great intimate performance at An Beal Bocht, the Bronx, NYC on April 12, 2012. Here is Tuttle's Reel (D-dor), The Bunch of Green Rushes (D-mix) and The Maids of Mitchelstown (D-min). Sorry for the late start.
This set is on his 1983 CD Up Close, and Tuttle's & Maids is on Sweeney's Dream 1989 under the names The Turtle and The Chicken in the Saucepan.

Note that this performance is acoustic as all trad music should be, ideally. No mics, no amps, no speakers. The difference is clear even via the internet, don't you think?

I’ve been coming back to this video for years. To me, it’s Kevin Burke at the top of his game - absolutely phenomenal, especially the final tune.

Kevin Burke is a living legend. Methodical yet so gracious on everything he touches.

This is the first set I ever heard from Kevin Burke on his up close CD. And man, my life has been better for it. Thanks for uploading this live version!

Great metronomic rhythm

Fiddle is as natural to Kevin as breathing. I wonder did he ever have to learn it or was he just born knowing it?

[@scanditube]

I took a workshop with him and he said he used to practice while watching tv or reading the newspaper -- so he could learn to play without thinking about it!

​@@scanditube I love knowing this so much. I would worry about getting sloppy but he clearly does not have that issue 😂
