Scottish Fiddler - Pete Clark
The Scottish Fiddle website of one of Scotland's top fiddlers,
Pete Clark.
Pete now lives in Perthshire not far from the birth places of Niel Gow and
Robert Mackintosh.
The beautiful Perthshire landscape has been the inspiration for
many of Pete's
compositions to be found on two great Scottish fiddle CDs - The Birnam Oak and Sycamore.
Since the release of his debut recording “Fiddlecase” in 1996, Pete has recorded a further five albums, the most recent being “Now & Then”(2006), which features music by Gow, Mackintosh and Skinner along with some of Pete’s own compositions.
When not fishing, Pete Clark divides his time between teaching and performing. He is a fiddle tutor on the Scottish Music degree course at the RSAMD (Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama) in Glasgow and teaches a weekly fiddle class at the famous Taybank music pub in Dunkeld. Twice a year (May & September) he runs his own “Dunkeld Bridge Fiddle Week” courses at the Taybank. Pete has been a guest tutor at fiddle camps throughout Scotland and beyond.
Over the years, Pete has
been privileged to work with a great diversity of artists.
Last year saw him touring with a new trio line up, “Three Men in a Boat”,
featuring accordionist Gregor Lowrey and pianist Jamie Jauncey. Recently he
has also been working with guitarist Jack Evans and ‘cellist Ron Shaw.
Much of his regular playing is for ceilidh dancing with The Benachally Ceilidh Band. He also on occasion plays for the RSCDS (Royal Scotttish Country Dance Society).
Aside from and teaching and performing, Pete directs the Niel Gow Festival which is held in March every year in Dunkeld & Birnam.
