            Ben is a natural & scintillating musician who has been playing the fiddle music of the USA, Sweden & Ireland since he was six. He has toured widely with his father Tom Paley & recorded with Tab Hunter, Damon Albarn, McDermott’s Two Hours, Mandragora & a host of others. His book Swedish Fiddle Music, An Anthology is the standard work on the subject in English.
            Ben writes: ‘During the workshop we’ll aim to enjoy learning & playing some interesting tunes from the USA, Sweden & Ireland - & maybe elsewhere! While we’re at it, perhaps we’ll think about technique, style, regional & national differences, how to play nicely with others ... & the state of the world in general...
