ray this has me in tears , miss your old man ! can I ask your permission to use this and your version of parting glass as my funeral service music please ?not just yet I hope though .x
Lovely to see the crew fabulous arrangement. The “Mingulay Boat Song” is a song written by Sir Hugh S. Roberton (1874–1952) in the 1930s. The melody is described in Roberton’s Songs of the Isles as a traditional Gaelic tune, probably titled “Lochaber”. The tune was part of an old Gaelic song, “Òran na Comhachaig” (the ‘Creag Ghuanach’ portion); from Brae Lochaber. The song describes fishermen sailing homeward to the isle of Mingulay where their families wait.
Wow, this is incredibly gorgeous in every way, what a wonderful performance!!!????
Tops!
