Joe Confiant:
Fiddle John Willie Morrison:
Piano Many of the older
residents of Cape Breton's Northside remember Joe Confiant
as one of the finest fiddlers of the 20th century. His
unique style evolved from local influences, yet his approach
to both the instrument and to the music was distinctly
different from modern Cape Breton Scottish
players. Joe's musical legacy
continued into the next generation, his influence being seen
most in his nephew, fiddler Johnny
Wilmot. Clips John of Badyedon
(unaccompanied) Kiss
the Bride
(2nd tune in MP3 medly) Lord
MacDonald's Joe Confiant's
