  • Thank you Mooney. When you have time have a listen to our just-released CD - Mingulay Boat Song isn't on the album, but Caledonia is - similarly arranged. Youtube won't let me post the URL for the CD but you can search mooncoyne on CD Baby or iTunes and find it. We're pretty happy with it. Review are good. And that's something. Best to you over there in Ireland. If you visit Tacoma WA USA I'll buy you a pint.

  • Good version - has guts!

  • Instrumentally 10/10, pipe was a new twist but a welcome one. Vocally, a very weak start but a fabulous finish. It would've been wonderful to be there. Overall a very good version of this very popular tune. Thanks for posting it.
