Naked and Bare
This is a Shetland jig which was on one of the early recordings by the Boys of the Lough. The title purportedly refers to a certain state of ship's rigging - what did you think it meant??

More history on "Naked and Bare"?
Does anyone have or know of any more history about this tune? How far back does it date? (A Google search brings up this site/reference and little else.)

Naked and Bare
Here are the liner notes from the eponymous Fiddlers' Bid album:
"This beautiful tune from Shetland comes from the playing of John Stickle from the island of Unst in Shetland. The tune was collected by Pat Shuldham-Shaw from John on the 8th February 1947 and is believed to be bride's march."
I'd never imagined Shetland brides went to the wedding naked & bare
