It is an instrumental by (I'll have to lapse into "sounds like" here) Padra or padrach O'Doignan recorded live and issued by Gaylyn (Gailyn) and called "Readur (Rheadur) S'Giatur" This is a wonderful tune but I only have a very short section of it. It starts with two or more whistles, the whistles cut out and the tune continues with what sounds like two or more fiddles, these then stop playing and the pipes come in. and behind it all is a bodhran driving out the rhythm. Marvelous stuff and I'd love the full recording. Thanks in advance to you all. Loo |

I have been to both sites, and I agree with you Smallpiper that the instruments and dates are very much as I tried to describe them. Going through their list of records however doesn't bring out anything with a title that looks as if it sounds anything like the one given on the track (if that makes sense). But thanks once again for a good try. Malcome, I think that you may have come very much closer to the mark with your message, (I would never have guessed by the way that it was spelt "Gael Linn"), On searching this site I came across an album in commemoration of the Irish poet Peadar O'Doinin (1702 - 1769) with the title of " O' Riada Sa Gaiety " which would pretty well match what I'm hearing on the track. I think that I'm getting close. I will dig a bit further and peruse a bit more and then see about contacting Gael Linn. Thanks again to both of you, I didn't think I would get an answer to this one (O ye of little faith) I should have known better. The power of the mudcat strikes again Cheers Loo |
