- A number of subscribers have asked if they can make a small financial contribution towards my efforts. I have now opened a simple paypal account at paypal.me/peakfiddler.
I am planning to self fund the publication of a collection of my tunes, so this will help towards those costs.
Janet visits Carterhaugh Forest in the Scottish Borders, where she meets Tam-Lin, a noble knight trapped in an Elf's body. She agrees to release Tam Lin from the spell, but faces the wrath of a very annoyed Queen of the Fairies.
My original version of Tam-Lin, or the Glasgow reel which is attributed to Davey Arthur, creates a great deal of interest and email from CZcams listeners. In regard to how the tune should be played, why my version is slightly different from the regular on-line version and also the notation which I posted on this website.
I created a teaching video specifically to help anyone out who wanted to try and master the rather tricky technique to play the Tam Lin/Glasgow Reel.
Performance: • Tam Lin - Glasgow Reel
Teaching: • Irish Fiddle Lesson - ...
I have felt for quite some time that this tune is difficult to master, particularly for those that may have only recently started to play the fiddle. Hence, the need for a slightly easier version to play. Which is why this version has come about, as I believe it will be an ideal introduction or steppng stone for anyone who wishes to learn to play Tam-Lin or the Glasgow reel as it is sometimes called.
Fortunately for everyone on CZcams, I decided not to dress in a skimpy outfit and run around a beach or a forest whilst playing this tune, but use the very good services of the following photographers to assist with the interesting graphics.

i enjoy peakfiddlers style of playing , he puts feeling into the melodies, in a true trad style.
What a pity you can only 'like' a tune once! This is bliss!
Thank you, great comment
As others have said, you really should publish a book. Fiddlers would queue up for it!
Yes ... i will be first in line to buy
There is something a little bit “sea shanty” about this and I love it 😍 love your older version too! It is how I discovered your channel and all of your amazing tutorials. Thanks for all the work you put into this for us! And now off to pick this on my mandolin 😃🤩
Gives us novices a chance to play along, thank you ;)
Inattendu ! ....et très chouette ! Même en jig, ça marche. la mélodie est tellement belle !
I am Sappy, it's a mix between happy because this nice easier version came out, and sad because I'am just at the end of 6 excrutiating months trying to get the previous version right as a beginner :p
A new word is now added to the vocabulary of new fiddle players 'Sappy'. I like it.
🤣
@@peakfiddler thank you a lot for your work and the time you spend spreading the love of fiddle.
Your previous video of Tam Lin is actually one of the two things that made me start seriously the violon and kept me motivated.
When I saw it I immediately thought :"This ! This piece is my goal !".
I've been playing it everyday for months and I'm finally starting to get it.
Oh my gosh! I like this version the best! It’s usually heard played as a fast polka or something. This is far more pleasant.
Toda vez que ouço essa música choro tanto... ela é linda!
Absolutely love this tune.
Thanks Peakfiddler! This is exactly what I need at the moment . The fast version is tricky!
Glad to help!
A great version!
The two versions (the older and this one) are great, they each create a different atmosphere! Thank you very much for these two approaches.
One of muy favourite Celtic tunes, Peakfiddler, thanks!!!!
Thanks for listening
Thanks!
Thank you for your kind and generous gift
Such an great tune to play
You are a legend
Yes thank you dor the tabs i love this song 🙏🎻😊
Fantastic Mr Peak! This is a great version. I'm definitely going to be learning this one when I get home from work this evening! Thank you 👍🎻🎶
Oh i love this version 🤩 nice & chill! 😊
Such talent
yes
Me encanta!!!! Muchas gracias por compartir melodías tan especiales como esta. I love this song! I start to play this song at music class, with my teacher in Terrassa, a city near Barcelona. Thanks!
Glad you enjoy it!
another great tune, should publish a tune book
Muito bom! Very Good!
This is so nice! It has a more old-fashioned feeling than the reel. Do you think it would be interesting to play it as a jig and then a reel? I’ve heard people do that with money musk, first a strathspey, than a reel.
Nice arrangement. BTW, where did you get the image of the Queen of the Fairies? :-)
Please let us know when it is published!
Please send me an email, the address is on the about page and I will keep you posted, thanks
This is great, thank you for all the nice videos and notations! Can these chords be used to accompany your "reel-version" of tamlin as well?
Yes indeed, I just checked by playing along with the Reel version and sure enough the chord structure is identical. I might just add an Am in the final bar on the A section of the low tune before the final Dm. Also, on the high version add an additional Em in the A section, last bar just before the Am.
amazing! but can you share the backing track please
How do you do to find so many musics and share it. Merci beaucoup !
Wanting to hear twin fiddle hi and low together and add double stops!
And play faster this is so slow! Who died...
you may prefer this version, which is a Reel - czcams.com/video/LqNiq-Acj2M/video.html
You don't have to be rude for no reason. Peakfiddler creates free music for you to listen to anytime you want so there's no need to complain.
There's always an expert in the crowd, undoubtedly far above all the hoi polloi! :/
Thanks for this version, Peakfiddler. I hope to master it someday... Sending all good wishes to you and hope you'll keep up the wonderful work! :) xx
Go learn to play it yourself then you can play it anyway you like and spare us this filth.
