Twa Corbies

A demo of our tune set based around the popular Highland march, Dr. McPhail's. The second tune is well-known in Wales as 'Nyth y Gog', the cuckoo's nest, and the final tune is the cracking Irish reel, Bonnie Mulligan. Bringing together tunes from every point of the trad compass is what Ceol Gallda is all about!
Arrangement: Meirion Jordan & Adam Sampson
Fiddles: Meirion Jordan
Guitar and bass: Adam Sampson

Dr MacPhail's / Nyth y Gog Lwydlas / Bonnie Mulligan

A demo of the closing set from our work-in-progress album. Most of these tunes are being played substantially slower than normal, and My Darling Asleep has been rearranged as a slow air, after the Gaelic tradition of those unable to sleep singing to themselves in bed.
Arrangement: Meirion Jordan & Adam Sampson
Octave Mandola: Adam Sampson
Guitars: Meirion Jordan & Adam Sampson
