McEwan's Bairn aka Seonaid - Fergie MacDonald + band

Another nugget from the BBC Scotland's music series - fergie MacDonald and band play McEwan's bairn/ Seonaid a west coast ceilidh tune - presented by Phil Cunningham

[@FBDBmusic]

The first tune is MacEwan's Barn (a bairn is something else!) Seonaid is the next tune in the set. There's only a short sample of this towards the end of the piece, mostly under dialogue. We play MacEwan's Barn as part of a Canadian Barn Dance set. If you would like the "dots" for it, get in contact via the FBDBmusic KZbin channel and I'll get the music off to you.

"MacEwan's Barn" "Sabhal Iain 'Ic Uisdein" - a great tune. Thanks for this posting :-)

Addie Harper of the Wick Band had this tune also made to one of his favourites.

[@shandfan]

Also played by the Wick Band.Has been certain links between Fergie and the Harpers.

[@UISTMAN59]

@@shandfan Very true!

[@shandfan]

Same title used by the Wick Band

[@UISTMAN59]

@km426 In some ways there is a world of difference but the great jazz musician Duke Ellington is supposed to have said that there are only two types of music which possess swing; one is jazz, the other Scottish music. :-)

Bravo the Campbell’s of the Highlands....!!!!! I love the Campbell clan and understand unity and integrity ... not just stealing from their next of kin

The current chief of Clan Maclachlan is Euan John Maclachlan of Maclachlan of Castle Lachlan, Chief of Clan Maclachlan, 25th of Maclachlan and Baron of Strathlachlan. The current chief's seat is new Castle Lachlan. The old castle was occupied by the Maclachlans till 1746, when attacked by a government warship - backed by the Campbells, as it happens :-) :-) :-)

Thanks!

[@DasHearach]

Can the rest of this be found anywhere? I danced the Schottish to this many times from Oban to Obbe and a couple of places inbetween. Fergie's timing has always been the best for dancing!

[@bootes33]

No idea sorry but its apparently the person above says the tunes can be found on the album Fergie's CD, "The Ceilidh King"

[@FBDBmusic]

[@bootes33]

@Marcblur I am sorry to say I just dont know - try finding phil cunningham on a social network site not sure if he'd be on but he must be contactable and he might know - there must also be a website etc for this band that you could post on a wall of or message - hope you get what you need - good luck x

[@Marcblur]

I've heard a bagpipe setting for the first tune. Does anyone know the name of it or where I can find the dots? I can't find MacEwan's Bairn anywhere and Seonaid seems to be a different tune all together(I've seen it written as a 5/4 strathspey).
