      Hey Katie! Here’s some advice for putting together medleys: LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN. If you’re going for a Cape Breton medley… listen to as many CB albums as you can and even learn some medleys exactly as they are played from your favorite albums. They tend to stay in the same key-ish. (ie… A min to A maj and everyhing in between.) For a more trad Scottish set, find tunes written during the same time period… a bunch of Skinner strathspeys, or William Marshall jigs, or pipe tunes from the past 15 years. Try to find tunes that relate. BUT REALLY, you can put together ANYTHING if you do it BOLDLY and if YOU love it. Happy fiddling!
