Rufus Guinchard

About the artist

For decades, Rufus Guinchard (1899-1990) was the fiddler of choice in communities along the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, often walking many miles to play for square sets, cotillions, and reels that were the main source of community entertainment. After these dances waned in popularity, he was "discovered" in the 1970s by the folklorists from St. John's, and started traveling the world playing his music. There are four albums of his fiddling
