hello Barbara, The melody was written by Philip King and I did the arrangements (for the Scullion album on Mulligan..now sadly deleted I believe). The Minor /major shift was our own input...though I must listen again to the V. Squad's version....its been 18 years since I did the original. In fact I must get around to playing the Scullion version on my radio prog. 'Reels to Ragas' on Lyric Fm (cheap plug there!)(www.lyricfm.ie) PJ
