Famed fiddler

Granger returns

to RMWF as judge

BY IAN FROESE

Allison Granger’s musical career can be characterized, perhaps,
in two words: Forever Fiddling.
It happens to be the name of her solo album.
“It kind of envelopes who I am as a person, as a musician, it’s
something that will always be close to me,” said the fiddler, who
grew up in Nesbitt, of her CD.
“I’m very lucky that I was put in lessons at a young age so that
I’m able to do what I do now.”
Granger is returning to Brandon in late March, as has become
tradition, to judge at the Royal Fiddlers’ Contest at the Winter Fair.

teacher.
The contest marked her first fiddling competition at the age of
