GUEST,Julia Lyr Req: Scottish Sea Shanties (62* d) RE: Lyr Req: Scottish Sea Shanties 03 May 07


Do Rowing songs qualify as shanties? The Hebridean Scots were/are Island people and getting from here to there meant rowing a lot.There are a number of tunes with evocative names and rhythmic cadence which had lyrics in Gaelic originally. Seems like some of our Gaelic experts could provide lyrics..?

Aran Boat song
Setting Sail for Iona
Kisimul's Galley
The Cuillins of Rhum
Mist Covered Mountains

Slainte-- Julia
