God this brings back memories! Winchester (England;-)) in the early '70s. Superb stuff at the time - Alan was one of the few 'continental' folk musicians we were aware of at the time, and he was a refreshing change occasionally from all our home-grown beloveds. All power to him!
When it comes to folk music you cant "steal" anything. There are lots and lots of folk tunes with the same melody and different lyrics and titles etc. :D
What other songs use this tune? When I heard Inis Mona the melody was so familiar, but I can't find where from. i found this and La Tribu De Dana while searching, but have never heard them before so that can't be where I've heard it before...
This song is ancient. Alan Stivell covered it but unfortunately as much as i love Eluvaite they ripped this tune off without crediting. There like 50 other bands that used this tune.

@crazya6565 Its a folk tune, its used in many songs and genres. If you listen closely to the Slania record they have used many celtic traditional folk melodies. Its awesome!
@crazya6565 Much like what Korpiklaani did with the song "Wooden Pints." They took an old folk song and metalized it. Look up the song "Säckpipslåt" by Azam Ali and compare it to "Wooden Pints."
Ummm this song has like one tiny part thats the same as inis mona...

They didn't steal it. They borrowed a popular folk tune, and added their own lyrics.
