Comments on the clue

1.	Very weak using fiddle as part of wordplay
2.	It should be "practising". I reckon "…practising his bowing" would be a much improved wording.
3.	This would be better without 'before', or without 'meeting'.
4.	Fiddle in fiddler and act nervously are effectively the same word,
