Lunasa is aboslutely stunning to watch play! I always get frustrated when I can't learn a piece easily by ear. And i so badly want to learn this piece on my ocarina, but I doubt I can ever truly emulate the way a tin whistle is played. Especially of Lunasa's caliber!
Go a Google search for the tune name. Do the search in "Images" (click on the word Images on the top left where it says Web, Images, Videos, Maps. There are different versions of the tune.
My wife and saw Lunasa on March 21st at Central Michigan University. They were incredible! They are all excellent musicians and put on a wonderful show. Go see them if you can and youll be hooked.
of course we're talking about that highlander. Miss McLeod's is about his daughter, and Highlander Watches Farewell to Ireland is also about that guy, THE Highlander is firmly rooted in the traditional music. i think fifilafrance is the one who needs god's guidance ;), so in conclusion, no no pop culture in this tradition
¡Extraordinario! Ay Dios mío, estos chicos son estupendos. Tuve la oportunidad de verlos en directo hace unos años y la experiencia fue inolvidable. ¡Viva Lúnasa!
The first tune is MacLeod's Farewell by Donald Shaw (Lunasa screwed up tributing this tune to it's rightful composer on the Merry Sisters of Fate album!). The last tune is indeed the Malbay Shuffle by Diarmaid Moynihan

Can barely hear the bagpipes in this recording, which, to me, is the best part of the song(second passing of the first tune)

that the drones' backsound at the biginning that makes the difference along with the guitar.
It's really a masterpiece.

Donald Shaw and Charlie McKerron play the original version written by Donald Shaw and they play it the best way as Capercaillie only can.
