The Groove Is Not Trivial
Part of the Documentaries Strand
Alasdair Fraser’s love for the fiddle has taken him around the world in his search for musical self-expression. As he digs deeper into his Scottish musical roots, his playing also drives his passion for empowerment and nationalism. He has found a universal pulse – or a ‘groove’ – through his vibrant performances, with his passionate teaching style proving popular at his well-attended fiddle camps in California, Scotland and Spain, where he gathers musicians to embrace that groove and join in a shared love for music and community.
