Buddy MacMaster was born in 1924 into a Gaelic speaking home in Onatario and in 1928 moved to Judique on the isolated island of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is commonly regarded as the greatest fiddler in Nova Scotia. He is the uncle of Natalie MacMaster, who has toured extensively. His best album is "Judique Flyer" and sounds like a man one third of his age. He seems to preserve a style of playing that has died out in Scotland. The inhabitants of Cape Breton emigrated from Scotland in the eighteen century and have retained their Scots Gaelic. Only in the 1980s were they rediscovered by Scots fiddlers. From the same circle comes Ashley MacIsaac who has mixed grunge-rock with jazz and folk. His use of expletives makes MacIsaac dangerous to have on live telvision.
