Eleanor Townsend - Lark Of The Morning

Eleanor Townsend studied classical violin from age 8 to 18 before turning to Celtic Traditional fiddling. She won the women's class of the Canadian Open Old Time Fiddlers' Contest in 1967, 1969, 1970, and 1974, and in 1979 became the first woman to win the open class; she remained the only female champion until 1998. Eleanor made several excellent albums and Lark Of The Morning released in 1976 remains my favourite.
