Here are some Acadian (East Coast French-Canadian) musicians from New Brunswick, including Louis Arsenault doing a fine performance on mandolin. They're playing a medley, of which the first two tunes are very popular in Atlantic Canada.The Scottish tune "Big John MacNeil" (a.k.a. "John MacNeil's Reel") is one of the most popular fiddle tunes across Canada. Eddie Poirier is a popular fiddler in New Brunswick. Here's some information about Louis, who also plays bluegrass.
