Golden Fiddle Award for Mike Kerin
Mike came home from Tamworth this year with a Golden Fiddle Award for Best Solo CD. His CD, The Dining Room Sessions, was released in 2006 and can be purchased through any music store in Australia or you can email Mike directly at mekerin@optushome.com.au   Mike sings all the songs and plays fiddle, mandolin and guitar on the album, with a bit of help from some of his friends in providing other textures. This award adds to the swag of awards Mike has received through the years for his marvelous playing and musicianship.
