this wouldn't be a Scots version of the Killimor Jig?

Can't open the link but the Kilimor (jig) is a Seán Ryan composition.

not sure of its origin, Peter, but I recall hearing Pat McNulty, Glasgow uilleann piper playing it in the mid sixties- does that fit? I think it's in his manuscript book of tunes from around then.

Thanks the one where his preface is scathing about playing tunes too fast- dead right I thought then and just asmuch now....

"Ghille Mor" ? If it's "Meantime" - a Scottish band - it's very unlikely to have anything to do with Irish music.

Spelt thus - last track on their 3rd album :   "Cille Mhoire" - according to a "Google search.

Nothing to do with "Ghille Mhor" - that was an educated guess. It's a slow air, most probably Gaelic in origin, but could be an original composition by a band member. Your best bet is to buy the CD, or the complete download from "iTunes", which has a "Digital booklet" attached.
