jack -Mo is right - I know Crossing the Minch is Scottish - and its only obscure in England because of that; I think its a hornpipe -but thanks for the background which I didn't know. When I play it I have a picture in my mind of a beautiful view of sparkly water and sunshine which can turn to fierce storm within minutes. I think I might stay with this vision rather than the drinking one.
I was lucky enough to hear Gog Magaog - I think it was at the straw bear and they were very good.
