Fiddler and concertinist Colin Lindsay was introduced to Irish music as a child growing up in New York, where he had the good fortune to learn from the renowned fiddler (and Portal Irish Week tutor) Brian Conway, attend many festivals and concerts, and win the Mid Atlantic Fleadh in every age category over twelve.
After moving to western MA for college he performed at festivals and many contradances, helping to found the band Magic Foot and performing with them from Maine to Georgia. Around the same time he picked up the anglo concertina, developing an ornamented style with the help of workshops from Fr. Charlie Coen, Bernie Geraghty, and Edel Fox, as well as two years building (and thoroughly testing) new concertinas at The Button Box Inc.
Now a proud resident of Seattle, WA, Colin is a patient and passionate teacher who delights in passing on tunes and techniques. This fiddle class is for you if you want to focus on technique and tone and not so many new tunes.
