Subject: RE: The most beautiful modern slow air
Was in Orkney for the folk festival this year and heard Douglas Montgomery of a band called Saltfishforty from the Orkney Islands play an air in a session called Watersound Shore. It was written by someone called F Gray and is on their new CD Goosemusic.

Someone mentioned Inis Oirr (Innisheer) above - a lovely tune. What I liked about Watersound Shore is that it is unpredictable and suddenly shoots off in a direction you don't expect; it keeps your interest while still being a beautiful tune.

I am not getting paid for promoting Saltfishforty but their CD is good!!!
