is steeped in the Scottish Gaelic traditions, particularly those of the West
Highlands where he currently lives.

Gabe McVarish hails from northern California, where he learned his first
traditional tunes on the fiddle. Having twice won the US Junior National
Scottish Fiddle Championship by the age of seventeen, he travelled to his
ancestral homeland of the Scottish Highlands, where he spent a year
studying music under the tutelage of fiddler and tradition bearer Angus
Grant Snr.

After a couple of years travelling, busking and playing in Irish and Scottish
pubs from Amsterdam to San Francisco, Gabe settled in the Highlands.
Having the opportunity to meet and play tunes with the wealth of great
musicians in the area, Gabe was soon performing full-time locally and
internationally.

He has played and recorded with a rich diversity of bands including Cliar,
Croabh Rua, Corner House, The Black Rose Ceilidh Band, Fiddlers Five,
Dannsa, Phamie Gow and Ewan Robertson. The formation of Dàimh in
1998 was a milestone - these like-minded Lochaber musicians are now
hailed as a 'Gaelic super-group', having recorded four albums, toured
extensively and appeared on national TV and radio.

After a three-winter sojourn in Glasgow, Gabe graduated from the Royal

Scottish Academy of Music and Drama with a BA in Scottish Music.
Subsequent years have seen Gabe greatly expand his skills, working as a
session musician in studios from Ardgour to Edinburgh and London's
Maida Vale. His versatility as a tutor has seen him highly sought after,
having taught at festivals and higher education establishments including
the University of Limerick. He also teaches regularly in Lochaber.

This album is a culmination of fiddle styles and repertoire from every side
of the Atlantic and the Irish Sea - Gabe's love of the traditional music of
the Celtic diaspora shines throughout, and the music includes a tribute to
the late, great piper Gordon Duncan.
