Jim Dorans - I'm Scottish, living in Southampton, England. I play fiddle (mainly), guitar and bluegrass 5-string. Styles include Irish traditional, bluegrass, Scottish, Eastern European and a wide variety of classical. I play sessions and gigs in and around the Hampshire area.
I have a tune learning / fiddle technique website, featuring Irish and other tunes types. The tunes are all played by me on fiddle, both at normal & slow speed, and they are all downloadable. There are photos, audio & video demonstrating good playing technique, for beginner to advanced - and at the moment it's all free! It's at http://www.worldfiddlemusic.com/
