Davy Tulloch – Shetland Fiddler, Violinist and Teacher
For several years in the 1990’s I had the privilege of being taught by Davy at his home in Midton Road, Ayr. At each lesson Davy would present me with a hand scripted score of the tune along with a recording.
Here is a recording of Davy playing Mrs McLeod made during the first lesson.
Some of the many tunes taught to me by Davy:-
- McDonald’s Reel
- The Hill of Finnighert
- Soldier’s Joy
- The Merry Boys of Greenland
- Miss Drummond of Perth
- The Grocer
