Manitoba's Junior Fiddle Champ
On this album Kent plays the Black Mountain Rag - "a bit slower," the tune that won him the 16 year and under Manitoba Junior Fiddle Championship. Ken enjoys performing for live audiences and television work. His recent thrill as a fiddler in Hamiota's major production "Fiddler On The Roof," produced by Ross Poole, was an experience he'll never forget.
    Though a seasoned performer this was Kent's first recording session. His songs were recorded completely unrehearsed. Following this session (a full fifteen minutes) he went home and perfected his numbers, and mine. How I wish he'd practised before the session!
   Kent spends very little of his time on the old time fiddle. His days are full of hockey, baseball, his mini bike and he is is taking grade 6 violin from Mr. Alex Whyte.
   We enjoyed his grade 2 composition (his first). I hope you enjoy his recordings.

MOST REQUESTED
FIDDLE TUNES
for you... by
BARRY FORMAN

Barry's first album "Fun N' Fiddle with Forman" contained twelve of Barry's favourites. By contrast this album contains seventeen of his most requested fiddle tunes. These tunes have been arranged by Barry. The result is a most refreshing approach to old time fiddle music. The Forman Fiddle style is the culmination of his early violin training with Mr. Alex Whyte, the Canadian fiddle stylings of his father, Lorne, and the influence of the well known Country Rock Trio - The Western Union.  This fiddle style is being passed on to his fiddler son Kent. Kent is nine years old and is Manitoba's Junior Fiddle Champ.

The Musicians on the album are no strangers to the music scene. Bill Hillman does all the guitar work with Sue-On Hillman on drums. Denis Rondeau plays bass and Mark Rutherford does piano, flute and organ. 

Barry, a former school teacher, now has the Ford and Mercury dealership in Rivers, Manitoba. It's now Fun N' Fiddle with Forman N' Ford. Enjoy the album.
