Cape Breton Wedding

I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn’t make the cut for the record but I always liked the tune. I played Uilleann pipes and whistle on this cut. We learned this tune from Paul Mac Donald, a great Cape Breton style fiddler from Prince Edward Island. If Paul ever happens to see this “how about a few triple rum and cokes eh?”
Very catchy melody!
And a wonderful time was had by all. Cheers Bee
Takes me back to the glorious weekend we spent with Gumbo last year. We heard all sorts of lovely, live Gaelic music. This is very pretty! Bethan
Old World Lovely
Nice sounds on this Kirk! Love the traditional Celtic sounds mixed with the modern ambiance. Keep me posted on your music! Thanks, Best Regards ,Rich
I'll thank and type Paul MacDonald one more time. Maybe he'll google his name and have a bit better chance of landing here for his R&C's. I like this a lot, Kirk.
Pipes and strings - nice ! quality sounds really good, hard to believe 91 was 20 years ago
So pure! As ever, I adore your pipe-playing - am always blown away by your versatility, Sir FS. (Triple rum and coke sounds good.)
Wonderful!
captured enchantment
Fantastic Kirk!
dancing, singing,,, the wind with a smile on it's face as it listens at the door,,, with this and many of your tunes ,, you bring a magic, to the air, well played
I was just Talking about the Uilleann pipes the other day. This is amazing man! Faved!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely wonderful! I love the way you play the uilleann pipes ... such a great feel for phrasing. Beautiful whistle playing too.
Thats the total deal........I'm going to tune up in DADGAD and play along with you guys here. What a great full sound. This warms my heart might I say.
Hello,Kirk I liked ittoo, Steve
I remember Paul from when Scartaglen used to play down by Folgers on 9th St. Nice tune.
Dancing and smiling and drinking with friends family and children running about at the wedding!
Yep....now that is some good music. Perfect way to wake up today, thanks Kirk.
excellent tune .......got my jig shoes on and a dancing in the kitchen to it....very autumnal .....
Lovely catchy little melody!
How I love this genre! My ultimate favourite! Reminds me of a trip to Ireland back in the spring. Great work all!
This song filled my kitchen as I made our coffee this morning. Fantastic!
