Scottish (?) Tune ID

Hi folks,
I wonder can anyone here give me the name of the third tune in this set: (it starts around 3.07)

I've already tried the ABC search here, and Reverend's ABC search too, and still no joy (maybe because I don't know how to use them properly)

Thanks

That was quite bizarre. However this is the tune, from Shetland

It's The New Rigged Ship http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/880
It comes originally from Shetland, but has found is way into the general session repertoire in Ireland in the last few decades.

Isn't it a shame you don't hear more tubas in sessions?

Altan played it after Donal agus Morag on their Harvest Storm album and Four Men and a Dog call it Unknown Shetland Tune on their Barking Mad album

Re: Scottish (?) Tune ID

Yes Jim, that's the New rigged Ship your playing there, the Full Rigged is a jig as is the Rigged Ship. They like their boaties up there in Shetland

Re: Scottish (?) Tune ID

Ditto what Bogman said. The Full Rigged Ship ( http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/878 ) is related to the New Rigged - in Shetland they often follow the jig with the reel.

I enjoyed your take on it, Jim.
