[scots-l] Hogmany Traditional Tunes?

2002-12-29 Thread John Bunch
About four years ago we spent a fantastic New Years in
Inverness and attended the "tradtional" Hogmany
celebration there.  The highlight was a procession out
to the torch lit football field where the entire
community sang Auld lang sign.  Since then I have come
across Guid New Year as another traditional Hogmany
song.  

What are the musical tradtions of Hogmany?  Are there
any?  I would be interested finding out about any
tunes (ABC format) and/or lyrics and how they are used
in the context of celebrating the NEW YEAR in
Scotland.


Thanks!

[scots-l] Looking for some background information

2002-12-29 Thread Wendy Galovich

I have been asked to help gather some background information on a tune - "Inis Oirr" 
and its composer, Thomas Walsh. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Wendy
