Last night, we went to Portland to hear Boreal Tordu with our friend and band-mate Sandy... what a fabulous evening! These guys are far from old, but a lot of their music is indeed from years gone by... Lively tunes and instrumentals, and a highly engaging and entertaining presentation all worked together in a lovely, intimate venue at the newly re-opened Cultural Exchange on Longfellow Square in Portland. Boreal Tordu's fiddler, Steve Muise, was named Maine's Music Teacher of the Year, congratulations to Steve!
Car-pooling to events like this gives the opportunity for conversation and knowing more about each other... we met a friend of Sandy's for dinner at the Bangkok Thai restaurant where we had delicious food... And we finished the evening off by stopping in at the Falmouth contradance which happens every first Saturday... Nat Hewitt is almost always the fiddler (playing many a French tune) accompanied by a variety of fine musicians!
Old French can be found in the Fiddler's Fakebook as well as the New England Fiddler's Repertoire.
