@stringy -

GREAT video clip!  

It's a good example of the 'Nashville Shuffle' bowing pattern!  The fiddler chose wisely & makes the tune special. 

Thanks for sharing it! 

I like Mitch Reed's tip of saying "I'm Hap-py, You're Hap-py" to help keep this rhythm. 

Chris Haigh has good video tutorials for the 3 main/common shuffle bowing patterns for Old Time & Bluegrass.  André Brunet has one for the shuffle pattern he uses for Québécois - and I think there's some shuffle bowing used in playing the Blues. 

I haven't spent anywhere near enough time on making these patterns so natural that they automatically kick in - your video's a good reminder that this is another area I need to spend more time on.

These are a great band, they usually perform music hall and end of pier music from the victorian and slightly later period, was just walking through manchester as they have a huge holloween festival and came across them on one of the stages, their band varies in numbers depending on other comitments I suppose. They have a double bass player as well as others who perform with them on and off, fiddle player was excellent though I didnt record any of the others they played. They are all from manchester and salford.
