Mr. Cook's/Dearborn Slip/Kelly Peck's Jig

The BC Fiddle Orchestra started in 1994 with a collection of Victoria, BC's finest young violin players under the direction of Daniel Lapp, a west-coast fiddler of some reknown. Season by season over these past many years the ensemble continues to nurture the city's most keen young musician's with weekly rehearsals, random recording sessions, youth exchanges, community dances, concerts and Daniel's ongoing tutelage of a varied curriculum delving into the world's great fiddle styles - Fiddling 101 or something to that effect. This collection of tunes are from some of these random recordings between 2008 and 2019. They will now be added to the library of previous BCFO recordings dating back to 1996 that include well over 100 tunes from around the world and in particular from BC's own repertoire of original tunes. BCFO alumni now number in the many dozens and continue to play these tunes on world stages and in living rooms and coffee houses around the world.
