Reel · 4/4 · C major

Composed by renowned Canadian fiddler Graham Townsend, Pat The Budgie is a lively reel set in the key of C major. The tune features a bright, upbeat character that demands precise fingerwork and a driving rhythmic pulse typical of contest-style fiddling. Although specific historical associations beyond its creation in the Canadian old-time tradition are not documented, it remains a popular showcase piece in modern fiddle repertoires.
