She's indeed a terrific violinist, but lacks Aly and others fiddlers' "spark". Trad music is not something you learn from a score, you've really to live It.

what is the name of the tune at 7.16

Me too!

Brian Drummond thank You bro, I found it long time ago. Greeting from Croatia

Classical vs. Trad. Violinists try to get the more loud and "cutting" sound, fiddlers try to get more sweet. Besides, playing far from the bridge makes double stops a lot easier :)

When you are playing quietly, and thus with lower bow pressure, you place your bow in the “lane” by the fingerboard where the strings have less tension in order to avoid a whistling noise. When you want to project louder, as Nicola was demonstrating when playing the Strad, the only place the strings can take the pressure of a harder bow stroke without an awful crunching noise is in the bow “lane” by the bridge where the strings are at higher tension. It’s not just a classical thing-it’s for any style of violin music.

Mrs Jamieson's Favourite by James Scott Skinner

@@josephmcmahon7470 Thanks for that

Scottish fiddlers rarely go beyond 3rd position. Plus, Aly has huge hands. Mine are not that big, and although I'm a fiddler my left hand approach is closer to Nicola's: Otherwise, I couldn't reach some notes :)

If you're still looking for an answer 4 years later - Mrs Jamieson's favourite ;)

Thanks for that Norman, I too was scratching my head trying to find out what the lovely tune is. I’ll learn it on the Anglo now! Cheers, Paul

@@NormanMackay By Charles Grant, a pupil of the great William Marshall, Aly recorded It several times, and is a very nice tune: Full of expression and surprisingly easy to play. Cheers.

Yea you know the only thing Aly is listening to is the voice in his head saying my god your beautiful.
