PAT WILMOT’S. Canadian, Reel. Canada, Cape Breton. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. The tune is credited to John E. "Johnny" Wilmot, although on Wilmot's own recording, "Cape Breton Fiddling," it is listed as the untitled "An Inverness Reel." Wilmot, a master of the Northside Cape Breton fiddling tradition, was an Irish-influenced fiddler who learned from the recordings of Coleman and Morrision, from his grand-uncle, Henry Fortune, and from Newfoundland Irish musicians who settled in the north of Cape Breton.
