Mairi's Wedding

Someone requested this tune, so here it is. This version is from The Riverside Ceilidh Band's album Horses for Courses. It is also known as "Oovie Avie" and is unrelated to the other "Mairi's Wedding", so it's unlikely that any of the recordings listed are the same tune. It's possible that the original of this version came from accordionist Andrew Rankine, as two or three of the Riverside band used to play in Rankine's band.

Nice tune, Nigel. I've taken the opportunity to add the alternative name to the database.
