Hornpipe (2017)

In 2015, I won the Eastern North American Irish Fiddle Competition and qualified to compete at the All-Ireland Fiddle Competition in Sligo, Ireland. I ran a crowd-funding campaign online to help make the trip possible, and one of the perks of donating was receiving a tune composed by yours truly. This is one of the eight tunes I was commissioned to write.

Rob Froom is a fiddler from Ottawa, whom I first met in 2014 at a weekend fiddle retreat with Patrick Ourceau and Ivan Goff in Kingston, ON. He has been a dedicated supporter of the Gatineau Hills Fiddle Festival since it began in 2018, and now serves on the festival’s board of directors.
