about

Darby the Driver/Seallaibh Curaigh Eoghainn (Look at Ewen’s Coracle)/Haughs of Cromdale/Fiddles on Top (Andrew Dodds)/Bonaparte’s Retreat
- Irish/Scottish/Appalachian
Starting out on an Irish jig, we play around Barbara singing this Gaelic puirt-a-beul (mouth music) song as a jig, a strathspey and finally as a reel. Andrew duets on the strathspey, then comes in just before the end with a reel he wrote himself “on a train somewhere between Inverness and Glasgow a few years ago” Finally, we take off into a rousing Appalachian tune, introduced with bottine souriante accompaniment.

lyrics

SEALLAIBH CURAIGH EÒGHAINN

O seallaibh curaigh Eòghainn
Is cóig raimh fhichead oirre
Seallaibh curaigh Eòghainn
‘S I seachad aig a’ Rubha Bhàn..

Bidh Eòghainn, bidh Eòghainn
Bidh Eòghainn na sgiobair oirr’
Bidh Eòghainn, bidh Eòghainn
‘S I seachad aig a’ Rubha Bhàn.
