Now that I've found a recording to listen to it again, I'm sure that's what Michal is looking for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YKWXJyrZGg Has anyone emailed him? |

Are you thinking of Bothy Band's Fionnaghuala https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=1219#5457 Here is another recording of "Horo Haradalda" by Dolores Keane and John Faulkner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK9CTi3e_z4 Craig Cockburn writes: "The name of this song is "Dance to Your Shadow" words Kenneth Macleod, arranger Marjorie Kennedy-Fraser, tune anonymous and collected in Eigg from Marion Macleod, Kenneth’s elder sister." As Sung by Christine and Matthew Weir Horo haradala horo haradala horo haradal heingi handan. Dance to your shadow when it's good to be living lad Dance to your shadow when there's nothing better near x2 Horo haradala horo haradala horo haradal heingi handan. I've never thought this song sounds very Scottish; the vocables sound Oriental to me! Hin hin haradala hin hin haradala hin hin haradal hin haradal ho x2 There are tunes in the River Otter, pools in the river Water pools in the river, and the river calls him x2 Hin hin haradala hin hin haradala hin hin haradal hin haradal ho x2 Horo haradala horo haradala horo haradal heingi handan |

It's on the recording "Broken Hearted I'll Wander". Nothing at all to do with the Bothy Band, nor De Danann. https://youtu.be/b6eil0vnSvg |
