---

 In 1979, following on the release of the Angus Chisholm LP, Shanachie records released this LP compilation of the 78RPM recordings of Cape Breton fiddler Bill Lamey. Lamey had been by this time living in Boston for thirty years, where he had established some of the most renowned dances in Roxbury. Before moving away in the early 1950's, Lamey was a popular Sydney based CJCB radio performer where he recorded this series of discs. The medleys are standards today, having enjoyed widespread circulation amongst fiddlers. The 78s were carefully remastered for the Shanachie reissue, and released on LP and cassette format.This Digital Reissue, was remastered again, directly from the Shanachie master.
