Thread Name: Tunes for St. Andrew's Night
Subject: RE: Tunes for St. Andrew's Night
You've been given a tall order - to play songs strangers will know.
1. Plan A: ask the organizers for some suggestions. Then alternate songs with your Cape Breton tunes.
2. Plan B: visit Contemplator's Scottish page and look for good tunes. If you know some of the tunes there, chances are others know them.

3. IMHO, these are Scottish songs everybody knows
The Campbells are Coming Loch Lomond Where oh, Where has my Highland Laddie Gone? Scotland the Brave My love is like a red, red rose Coming through the rye Flow Gently Sweet Afton (tune written by an American)
