Celtic Fiddle - CD (2000)
"This is the very first album I ever made, recorded when I was just fifteen years old and still in high school (which was only possible thanks to support from some dear friends). I’m SO grateful that sales of this CD put me through much of college! For a blast from the past… enjoy.”
Jeremy
Praise for Celtic Fiddle
“Celtic Fiddle – one of the top Celtic albums of 2000 and certainly the best by a new young artist...”
Bryan Kelso Crow, Celtic Connections, (heard on 95 radio stations in the US)
“[Jeremy has] established impeccable credentials for Scottish fiddling with his first album…”
Fiddler magazine
“Still in his teens, Jeremy Kittel has already established himself as a world-class fiddler.”
Sing Out!
“His album showcases his talent in a well-chosen series of tunes, including the wonderful “Tamlin” and the haunting “Well May Charlie Wear the Crown.”
Current Magazine
“You’d think he had been playing for decades in Irish Music Halls. Kittel’s fiddle style is utterly convincing; he has the characteristic driven-bow style of Irish and Scottish fiddling, the percussive cuts and rolls, down pat.”
