Times -Advocate, Apnl 6, 1994 Page 11 Champion fiddlers coming to Blyth BLYTH - North America's only championship fiddle team is com- ing to the Blyth Memorial Hall for one toe -tapping, rousing concert April 10. Graham and Eleanor Townsend are each champions in their own right. Graham stunned the fiddle world at the age of 11, winning the CNE fiddling contest, heating es- tablished adult players. His early influences were old-time French Canadian, Irish and Scottish melo- dies. Later studies introduced him to jazz, bluegrass, country and western, Southern, Cajun and western swing, and have earned him the reputation as the most ver- satile fiddler on the American con- tinent. Today Graham is the master of every style, at home on any stage, whether it be concert hall, night- club, or playing for the Queen. The late Don Messer, with whom Graham worked very closely, wrote that "Graham Townsend in- terpretations of the oldtime melo- dies by far exceed those of any other player." Eleanor Townsend was the first woman to win the Canadian Open Old-time Fiddling Championship in Shelburne, after her winning four times. Her win in Shelburne, 13 years ago, opened the door to other women, many of them her students. Graham and Eleanor Townsend will bring their award-winning combination to the Blyth Memorial Hall for one show only, at 2:30 p.m., on Sunday afternoon, April 10. Tickets are $15 in advance by calling the Box Office at 523-9300. Remaining tickets, if any, may be available at the door for $20.
