Celtic Fiddle Festival Biography
Celtic Fiddle Festival was originally conceived as a unique touring project in 1992, with Burke, Lemaître, and the great Scottish fiddler Johnny Cunningham. The group proved such a success that a live recording was released. That first album, simply titled Celtic Fiddle Festival (1993, Green Linnet), received glowing critical reviews and racked up impressive sales. Four albums and numerous international tours later, the ensemble is now one of the most popular on the Celtic circuit. Sadly, the world lost Cunningham with his unexpected passing in 2003. The Celtic Fiddle Festival’s live CD, Play On (2005, Green Linnet), was dedicated to Johnny.
