Haborlite Music: Alison McNeill
Fiddle Workshops
Alison McNeill Fiddle Workshops are always very popular with many fiddlers coming back every year. Alison’s workshops have also featured in The Box and Fiddle and FiddleOn Magazines.
“Alison is a demon - in every sense of the word. She plays superbly in a variety of styles and sings like an angel. She has a natural ability to teach, finding that very clever balance between not letting you get away with anything shoddy whilst avoiding too much pressure and seriousness . . . . Your inhibitions seem to melt away as a result of her patience, firmness and humour."Elizabeth Gower, FiddleOn Magazine, Summer 2005
