about
Both myself and most others will associate this mighty tune with Liam O’Flynn’s haunting rendition of it on Planxty’s 1974 LP Cold Blow and the Rainy Night . As with Dark Loch na Gaor, this tune also dates back to the mid-1740s and the Jacobite era. Being both a song and military march, it has moved from Scotland to America to Ireland in various forms, reaching its identity as a six part hornpipe by the 1940s, when Padraig O’Keefe recorded it and appears on the RTE collection of his music entitled The Sliabh Luachra Fiddle Master. It’s also played as a two-part polka in that area, as the music of Kerry box players Denis Doody and Bryan and Johnny O’Leary will attest to.
Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman
Arragnements fit together perfectly, piping is precise, variations accentuate the tunes well and the rhythm section is dancing! Unique and enjoyable all around! MichaelD
Nick's settings and playing of these old tunes on his instrument are just superb. When I first saw his track list I was shocked, He had found more tracks from Oscar and Malvina than I had in years of searching. This album remains a musical and academic delight! Wetootwaag
