"Friday Night Live at the Barons Hotel” (2-CD set)

The CGM has just released a 2-CD set entitled “Friday Night Live at the Barons Hotel” recorded live on August 22, 2008.

We asked the competitors to come armed with dance music and styles from their part of the country, and to perform either singly or as a group by Province. The result is a 2-CD set of some of Canada’s best fiddling dance music performed by some of Canada’s best fiddlers from BC to the Maritimes. All tunes are listed, and individual tunes or sets can be accessed. The contestants really pulled out the stops on this one! The closing jam with all fiddlers on stage will knock your socks off!

$15.00 each for CGMFA members - - $20.00 each for non-members - - plus $3 for shipping and handling

2008 Contest Highlights

The new 2008 Canadian Grand Masters CD is now available for purchase. Superb on-stage sound engineering by CGMFA technical support as well as refined recording, mixing and mastering by TuneTime Music has made this CD the best ever. As in the past few years the format offers the complete evening perfomances of the three top finalists (Andre Brunet, Mathew Johnson, Kyle Charron), the complete performances of the Junior Showcase, as well as medleys of waltzes, jigs and reels selected from the competitors’ afternoon and evening sets by the CGMFA music committee. For those fiddlers wishing to locate a specific tune within any set, this years’ CD offers the listener the option to jump to, or repeat the particular tune, since each one has been assigned an individual track, however without pauses within a set. Standard pause times have been maintained between sets as in previous years recordings.
