Over the summer, one of my songs was placed on the City of St. John's Summer Trail Mix.

We got together just after Christmas and jammed together for the first time in months and the energy in the space was absolutely electric! Thanks so much to Glen Tilley for coordinating this and thanks to Daniel George, Clare Follett, and Nick Earle for playing with me on this! We had so much fun!</p>
<p>If you haven't seen me play with a full band before, now's your chance!</p>

Many had never seen a violin in person before. Hearing their voices singing along to a classic makes my heart melt.</p>

I first contacted Margaret in 2017 after finding some of her field recordings of the MacArthur family in the Codroy Valley of Newfoundland. I had transcribed some of the fiddle tunes and wanted to put my arrangements of them on my CD “Painted Glass.” In the process of contacting her, I found out that Margaret’s home was at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Through the jigs and the reels, we were able to keep in touch and today, I finally got to meet her in person. Upon meeting her, she took me to the front of the room and introduced me to the nieces of Frank MacArthur who happened to be there and were thrilled to hear that their uncle’s legacy was being passed onto a new generation. I am so proud to be passing on the traditions of music in Newfoundland and this encounter enhanced this sense of pride.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/313518/44ba60dc077bd019ca1f748bc4aedf7439a8d5eb/original/img-8063-1.jpeg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Rosemary Lawton
