Help: Music from Nova Scotia recorded in Cork

I used to have a CD of music from Nova Scotia, recorded at a festival in Cork. It was lovely stuff; there was a strathspey on it called The Bonny Lass of Headlake which was particularly beautiful.

Went looking for it on Amazon and CDNow and couldn't find it. Does anyone know where it might be got?

You could try the music department at University College Cork. They organised the festival. I haven't heard the CD but the festival was great. I think it was in 1993.

It's called 'Traditional Music From Cape Breton' and its on the NIMBUS Label NI5383 (1993).

Notation for this tune, written by Gordon F. McQuarrie of Victoria Line, Inverness County, Cape Breton, is available in a number of formats (including midi) at  JC's Tunefinder:   The Bonnie Lass of Headlake
