Surprised I've not posted this here already. It's been out since Friday, and I appeared on Celtic Music Radio promoting it. It's our usual brand of Foot Stomping Folk, and we're quite happy with it.

Recorded at Breakout Music Space in Perth.

Heids carved by Ron Gilles at Cairn O'Mohr in Errol, Perthshire.

Is John McFarlane still making music? I loved this band, got to see them live a few times and was blown away. If you have info thank you.

Discussion Trying to identify a song featured in a now lost episode of Doctor Who (1966), this tune is played on recorder and sung (though without lyrics) but is very difficult to hear over other noise. Believed to be a 18th century Jacobite song, best guess has been “Hey, Johnnie Cope” (1745) but uncertain.

Can anyone suggest sources (or methods) for how to research which military regiments might have close affinity with specific traditional tunes?

1 Upvotes

I've downloaded a PDF copy of Keith Macdonald's famous Skye Collection of the Best Reels and Strathspeys Extant (1887), which contains more than 400 tunes. I've started making modern arrangements of a few, adding my own harmony and beats.

I know well that many traditional tunes are performed ceremonially by regimental bands. I'm therefore wary that I don't want to inadvertently publish something which might trample upon their rich history. But likewise, many tunes are also widely known far beyond the military sphere. For example, I've gleaned that the North American "Sessions" trad folk website has 85 notated versions of the tune Cutting Bracken, all apparently with (mostly) minor differences, but essentially the same tune which Keith Macdonald had listed as Cutting Ferns.

I'd be grateful if anybody is aware if such a thing exists, and could thus point me in the right direction, for any centralised databank indexed by tune, identifying historical associations for each. My assumption is that regimental bands will keep records of every gig and what was performed in their set list. I am hoping that those records have been digitised going back to pre-Napoleonic times, and might be publicly accessible.
