You really should have a look..... a couple of trads and a couple she has written herself.
I have added "The Loch Tay Boat" song since original post.
"She Moves Through The Fair" is resplendent with Uilleann pipes played by the wonderful Liam Haicead.
"Gaza to Argyle" is a song Wendy wrote about Alan Johnston, the BBC jounalist kidnapped in Gaza.
"The Visitor" recounts the tale of the daring rescue off Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire in 1883 led by Coxswain Henry Freeman.......who's granddaughter emailed us from Canada this morning to get the lyrics of the song (fantastic stuff...I love the way music makes these connections with people)
