Tune on You Tube - Please identify

Tune on You Tube - Please identify

I would appreciate identification of this tune on YouTube. Got most of it by ear, but would like to confirm it somewhere.

Many Thanks

It's possible that you misunderstand a fundamental aspect of this music. The chances that you'll find a transcription accurate to a particular rendition of a tune is zero.

If this is the tune you want, get the rest with your ear.

BTW - just worked out who NP is - a very fine fiddler indeed

if you happen to make it anywhere near the roebuck tomorrow then ask Stef to play it for you...

No wonder you couldn't hear it, with all that thumping going on.

Another outstanding insight from our resident expert. Look at the youtube videos linked to N.P's profile. I don't think he's misunderstanding anything.

Thanks for the tune name. I am picking it up from Stef's playing. but only heard it once so far.

Will try to make Roebuck, if I can get a seat; band are playing on the Festival Site from 8-9 so will be later than normal

Many thanks

That banjo player looks awful like my Aunty Molly. Its probably the head gear that does it.......Aunty Molly would never wear something like that.

"Road to Errogie" I agree is the tune and i've also heard the same tune referred to as "Road Tae Loanheid"by a group no longer playing "Me Thame and Us"

Here is the transcription that was rendered by bonnanza on the site. I have certainly never heard it called anything other than The Road To Errogie. It is a recent tune composed by fiddler Adam Sutherland in B major - so if you are using the dots on here bear that in mind.

If you look at the comments section of the tune there are youtube links to various other renditions of the tune.

The banjo player may have an eccentric taste in head gear but I have met him in sessions in Edinburgh and he can certainly play that banjo well.

I am feeling a strong sense of deja-vu with this thread now!

Re: Tune on You Tube - Please identify

I'm assuming noone's interested in the 2nd tune?

Oh, and in the spirit of this thread,

I think the first tune is Road to Errogie...

I'm sorry could someone repeat the question?
