For fiddlers

Acutab Publications announce the long-awaited release of their first instructional fiddle DVD, Ron Stewart's Playing fiddle in the bluegrass style (90 minutes). More details about it are available here.

Ron Stewart has been playing since he was a toddler, has toured and recorded with many top artists in bluegrass, won the IBMA's Fiddler of the Year award in 2000, and is now working with J. D. Crowe & the New South. The backup band includes Kenny Smith (IBMA Guitarist of the Year, 1998 and 1999) on guitar.

BIB editor's note: I consider Ron Stewart an absolutely exemplary player on both fiddle and banjo (his Acutab banjo DVD came out some time ago), so this release looks like being an event.
