GUEST,kenny Origins: Gaelic Waltz - Alan Stivell - Gaeltacht (32) RE: Origins: Gaelic Waltz - Alan Stivell - Gaeltacht 21 Feb 19

Hi Helen - I emailed Phil, and got the following reply from him,

"Hi Kenny!
Good to hear from you.

I know the Galley of Lorne is the name of a restaurant up in Ardfern which in the old days was used by drovers.
The Tannies recorded it with Dougie [ MacLean ] in the 70s however I’m sure we registered it as Trad. Roy and I are not sure whether it was Dougie or myself that found it all those years ago. We may even have heard Alan Stivell playing it. Sorry I can’t be more specific about it at the moment".

Well, I suppose it was over 40 years ago, and the mention of Stivell may have been prompted by my saying that he recorded it, and that that was the source of the query. So no further forward really, but I have thanked Phil for taking the time to think about it and reply so promptly.
Regards, Kenny
