The six finalists of the first annual Niel Gow International Fiddle Composition Award performed their tunes for the assembled judges (Fiona Ritchie, Dougie MacLean, Martin Hadden, Freeland Barbour and Mike Ward - quite an intimidating group to have in the audience!) by way of interval act for the show, so I thought I'd better do a Niel Gow tune in honour of the occasion. Many thanks to Roy Flitcroft for the video.
