I picked up this CD at the Johnny Cunningham tribute Friday night and noted some sets of reels on a couple of tracks. I recognised a couple of them but until a short while ago couldn’t put a name to either. One of them is Lexy McAskill. It is the third reel played in the medly simply called “The Flight” ( track 8 ). This is followed by a cut called “The Landing” which is the strathspey version of the Scottish air “Tha mi sGith”. The next set of reels is track 18 “The Duel”. I know I’ve heard that second reel somewhere but no name comes to mind. Unfortunately the album is labeled as “original music written and arranged by Johnny Cunningham”. I’ve already raised some hackles on the Rovers list by suggesting that that isn’t entirely correct :roll: Figured I might get better result posing the question to musicians rather than fans as to what the trad tunes on this recording are. Anyone?
Cheers & thanks,
David
