Dundar Street March
I learned this simple, beautiful march off the amazingly great debut album of young Scottish fiddler Patsy Reid. It's the opening tune in one of Cape Breton medleys. I'm not very sure of the difference between this kind of marches and strathpeys, but it should be played as a slower and less bouncy tune, I think.
Although it sounds very old-fashioned, this seems a recent composition by Michael MacDonald. I can't find any good information about the composer but guess he is a Cape Breton fiddler because this is probably not a pipe tune. Please add some information if you know him.
I tried playing Irish hornpipe "The Humours of Tullycrine" after the tune and found the two tunes make a nice set. "Lord Mayo" too would be nice to follow this march.
P.S. Is it really Dundar Street? Maybe it should be Dunbar Street.
