World Fiddle Day lands on May 17th this year! 

Look to see what festivities are happening in YOUR neck of the woods! 

I haven't checked Michigan, yet... still in no shape to go anywhere at the moment.

 

There's a big festival in County Kerry, Ireland (Scartaglin) - be great if you get a chance to immerse yourself in Sliabh Luachra fiddling tradition!
