Of the thousands upon thousands of top-tier fiddlers that have come from the island, one person time and time again is named the region’s very best, Winston &quot;Scotty&quot; Fitzgerald. This episode investigates the life and music of Fitzgerald: the rough-and-tumble surroundings that inspired his style of playing, the record deals that sank despite favourable sales and popularity, and his love of drink that lasted a lifetime.
