Gallus Moll Origins: Gaelic Waltz - Alan Stivell - Gaeltacht (32) RE: Origins: Gaelic Waltz - Alan Stivell - Gaeltacht 18 Feb 19


Helen - I love the spooky connections!

If you look on youtube there are several people/groups playing this tune.
(also a duo playing other tunes IN the Galley of Lorne Hotel cellars during a folk festival there!)

One example is a set of Gaelic waltzes by a Scottish country dance band

one is a French woman on a melodeon

one is John Kelly from the Cowal area of Argyll (Lorne is around the Oban area) playing mandolin. John often posts on Nigel Gatherer's music site (google Nigel Gatherer) so you could ask him about the tune?

There are probably more versions---you could check Graham Irvine's youtube posts, he is an amazing button box player and will certainly know the tune if he has not actually uploaded it?
