Aodh Tune Req: Machair Aignish/The Taladh Lullaby? (21) RE: Tune Req: Machair Aignish/The Taladh Lullaby? 04 May 00


Tha mi duilich! The first song isn't a lullaby, far from it. It's about an exiles longing to die at his/her birth place, the sands of Aignish on the isle of Lewis. Its on the capercaillie album 'the Blood is Strong' The second song isn't really a lullady as 'dream angus'is, I may be mistaken again! but 'taladh' can also be used to name the spectral gardian of an orphan who would sing such a song. I think the songs called 'Urnaigh A'Bhan Thigeragh' which is the prayer of the Thigeragh woman, or wife? It on one of the early capercailie albums, Crosswind I think? any way if you or any one can help! Mile Moran Taing! Aodh.
