We recently saw Ryan Young and Jenn Butterworth at the wonderful Kirkcaldy Acoustic Music Club, which manages to put on top drawer acts every week, without fail. Ryan is a very innovative and dynamic young fiddle-player and Jenn is a renowned guitarist. The night was mostly about showcasing Ryan, which Jenn's sensitive and unselfish playing did perfectly. It was pretty clear that each set of tunes is not always the same twice and it was fun watching as he would subtly convey to her what was coming next. This sometimes involved Jenn in a change of capo position, which she achieved seamlessly, but the most impressive moments came when she needed to discard it. The speed with which she made it vanish was quite astonishing. Here's an example - at 5.18. Not great sound quality on this one I'm afraid but a great illustration of her nimble fingers in action. Watch what happens at the end of the set!

And if she thinks she might need it again she sits on it (7.06)! Better sound quality on this one. Brilliant set of tunes from young Ryan Young and a perfect example of how to accompany them.

Sorry to bang on, but this guy's a genius. They played these tunes at Kirkcaldy. Check out the double-stopped passages from 5.41. An astonishing amount of energy travelling through that bow. What a privilege to see them live in a small club.
