The 1988 classic.
Mike Scott, Steve Wickham and Anthony Thistlethwaite wrote most of the tracks on this album, Van Morrisson penned Sweet Thing, W Guthrie, This Land is your land and WB Yeats The Stolen Child.
Not trad then? Track 9 is, and I thought, the very lovely tune by Wickham: Dunford's Fancy both warrant an entry for this album here. I dusted it recently when the snow and cold played havoc on my pipes (the water ones) and the heating system at home and l looked for something to help warm the atmosphere! That oh so ancient music hasn't a wrinkle on it.

Perhaps someone will submit Jimmy Hickey's Waltz?
