Brian O’Donovan Legacy Series: Doug Lamey
Doug has studied, taught & performed Cape Breton fiddle for most of his life, inspired from toddlerhood by his grandfather, legendary fiddler Bill Lamey. Since then, Doug has performed at innumerable concerts and festivals throughout North America. He recorded a CD in 2009 as a member of the band Tri (“Among Friends/A-measg Chàirdean”), and upon his move to Cape Breton in 2011, Doug celebrated with a solo album, "A Step Back in Time." Doug's playing has a solid rhythmic beat that’s the key to the great Cape Breton-style fiddling, and his love of the music clearly shines through. Doug currently resides in Baddeck, Cape Breton with his family and in 2023 he released another solo album entitled "True North," now available in person and online.
What is being said about True North in the press?
"Amazing Cape Breton Fiddler. Highly recommended." - Fiddler Magazine
"A well-rounded taste of Cape Breton Fiddle." - Celtic Life International
"It’s the archetypal Cape Breton dynamic: a driving, energetic fiddle aligned with the piano’s syncopated rhythms, walking bass lines, and perfectly lovely harmonies – or perhaps a soulful slow air or sweet-toned waltz, with a rich, empathetic piano backing to match." - The Boston Irish Reporter
"This album is incredible!" - Celtic Beat
