The Lad From Orkney
A Phil Cunningham reel that is played in a set on Silly Wizard's early 80s album "Wild And Beautiful". (If I remember rightly it's played on whistle - on which it sounds great, but the G-Sharps don't make it an easy tune to play on a D-whistle.) The "Lad" after whom the tune was named is A. B. Corsie, generally known as Fred. I think I've met him , come to that, and think I've got the initials right.
