So I know most of you don't like Celtic Rock, etc, etc., but I'm trying to find the name of the trad tune played in Glenngarry Bhoys' song, Bonnie Broom. I heard another fiddler playing the same tune in a set at Dublin Irish Festival over the weekend. I had originally thought the GB wrote the tune for that song, but obviously not. Anyone know?
Yes well when I posted before I had only seen the video on a computer with very quiet speakers. I couldn't appreciate the Glengarry Bhoys in all their glory...
...I still dont have a clue what the song was about though.
Only getting to listen to all the clips properly now. June Tabor's version is actually very creepy! I like it but I think I am going to need to hide behind the sofa.
June Tabor frequently sounds dark and gloomy. I love her voice, but after a whole album, can sometimes feel that life is nasty, brutish and short. On her last album, though, Andy Cutting did a great job perking up the overall tone with his melodeon accompaniment, which helped balance the mood.
Does anyone know the name of this tune?

At first I thought the song would be this:

But alas not.
As far as the tune Andy Renwick's Ferret goes it is far better hearing the original (the middle tune):

Well done No Cause, nearly chocked on my soup when I heard that first clip. Gordon Duncans own version is so much better than the dots posted here.
