Miss Rowan Davies
A lovely waltz by Phil Cunningham. I'm surprised it hasn't been put on The Session before now.

Great tune
This is how Phil Cunningham plays it on Airs and Graces. For a different version on the pipes, listen to the Boys of the Lough version.

Miss Rowan Davies
Perhaps this has already been mentioned somewhere, but Phil Cunningham wrote it to honor the birth of his daughter.

You sure about that ?

A story I heard was that he auctioned the right to name this tune to the highest bidder, at a concert: the highest bidder duly paid up and named the tune after his own daughter. But I am in no position to know which of the naming stories is true.

Wrong
I am , and that story is rubbish. Rowan is Phil's step-daughter.

Erm?
well my cousins name is Rowan Davies... but she has nothing to do with the naming of the tune =D
I noticed a few wrong notes as I was playing through and I also discovered that it's a great tune to play in 3rd position on the fiddle
