Champion woman fiddler
featured at -Lr ucknow Fair
The champion woman fiddler of Canada,
Eleanor Townsend will be featured at the
Lucknow Fall Fair on Saturday, September
16.
The former Eleanor Reed of Dungannon,
she has .firmly established herself as
Canada's champion woman fiddler at
Shelburne in 1967, 1969, 1970 and 1974. In
1975, she was the first woman ever to
break in tothe top three fiddlers in the all
male "Open Class", placing second.
She is also recognized internationally as ,
the featured fiddler on "Maple Sugar:
Songs of Early Canada", an album of
Canadian folk music now being used by all
Canadian embassies and outposts to
spread awareness of Canada in folk culture
throughout the world.
Eleanor has just returned from an
American tour with the Maple Sugar
performers. Maple Sugar presents pure
traditional Canadian folk music and
American reviewers haled the music as "a
new country sound straight from the heart
of French and English rural Canada
Canadians are beoming increasingly
enthusiastic about this long -neglected
musical heritage of Canada's founding
peoples. Immediately after the American
•
tour, Maple Sugar performers found an
enthusiastic audience at Toronto's Mari-
posa Folk Festival.
Canadians of all ages are delighted to
see that Canada has its own traditional
songs, dance forms, and instrumental
music, says Donna Hogan, a folksinger
with Maple Sugar.
Eleanor's husband, Graham, is an inter-
nationally acclaimed fiddler who has
played with virtually every major folk artist
including the late Don Messer who called
him "the world's finest folk fiddler".
On "The Great Canadian Fiddle",
Eleanor and Graham present . their first
joint recording demonstrating the music of
their country heritage.
At Mariposa, Graham assisted by his
pianist, Glenn Paul, hosted a workshop
called "Great Canadian Fiddle Tunes".
The Mariposa workshop was inspired by
the joint recording he did with Eleanor.
This album is said to be the .first- ever to
survey the major regional and ethnic styles
of Canadian folk fiddling from Cape
Breton, Acadia, Quebec, the Ottawa
Valley, Northern and Southern Ontario and
the West.
