RE: [Harp-L] Music for harp from Islay

["Mike Snowden" <mike.snowden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure about Islay in particular.  Donald Black's playing features the
Western Isles extensively, but picks tunes from other Celtic areas of
Scotland

http://www.donald-black.com/

Unfortunately I haven't got the sleeve notes to tell me what comes from
where.


He mostly plays Tremolo harp, and in particular is the inspiration for the
Hohner "Highlander".  He keeps a pad by when playing, to moisten the
mouthpiece, and claims it often features a dram....

So laddy, you would like to play a song that is on the peaty side.

First you must start with a wee dram!
