The Wild Mountain Thyme played by Paul Anderson

[@reydecangrejos7087]

*absolutely nails the most tear-jerking tune* Fingal: "well, I hope that's alright for you" absolute legend

[@alicelemarchant1456]

This is some of the most beautiful music I've ever listened to. Thank you.

[@alecgrant7701]

Beautiful. Probably my favourite Skinner tune. ❤😅

[@fingalcromar95]

Hello, sorry its not a Skinner tune. It was written in Ireland by a Scotsman called Hugh McPeak. The melody is based on an old Scottish Song called "The Braes of Balquidder."

[@paulabhagyam]

Absolutely Amazing - also hope the following generations are coming up with this music in their souls!

[@kathysviolindiaryadultbegi3378]

HItting Like once isn't enough! Love love love this!!!! I hope to sound like this one day, amazing music, Fingal, thank you.

[@fingalcromar95]

Thank you x

[@This_Old_Man_68]

This is one happy boy here. Just learned the basic tune and now after hear how it's supposed to be played proper, I might as well just break my fiddle in half. Just lovely tune and you played it so beautiful. Hats off to ya.

[@isaruiz1613]

what a precious cover

[@dcairney3]

Wow! I have been searching for years after hearing someone play this on a celtic drum in a wee bar in Stornoway where people used to turn up with instruments and just jam. Even though it has taken another few years listening to many many versions I have finally found yours which you performed in the same haunting manner as it was that night many years ago when it captured my heart and I thank you sir for such a beautiful rendition which is now in my favourites ♥️

[@fingalcromar95]

Thank you Donna.

[@akimbogeo11]

Sir, your syllables do not gel in my ear or brain into words or phrases; but your playing soars! Thank you.

[@JamesWillmus]

You think that's bad, try listening to a Welshman!

[@juliamartinez8173]

Una fantàstica interpretació d'un tema preciós.

[@roryboyes2307]

Brilliant bud. The expression is bang on & the intonations the same

[@fingalcromar95]

Cheers Rory.

[@julietterose4399]

Wow ... Absolutely stunning! We decided to use this as our wedding song ❤️ do you have a recommendation for where to find the right sheet music? Cheers

[@fingalcromar95]

@julietterose4399 I'm afraid I improvised this off the top of my head so there's not any sheet music. A half decent player should be able to pick it up by ear and the basic melody should be easy to find o line. It was written by a Scotsman who was in Ireland at the time bit the melody is based on "The Braes of Balquidder" which is an old Scottish song.

[@fiddlelove5889]

beautiful

[@fingalcromar95]

Thank you Piroska.

[@megconner2791]

I know it’s been years since you posted this but I’d love to use your version in my wedding ceremony! Is your music on Spotify or any other music platform?

[@fingalcromar95]

@megconner2791 hello Meg, no I'm sorry it's not I'm afraid. It's not something I really play but I was requested to post it, so I improvised this.

[@CooperViolins]

You should give a lesson on how to play that.

[@jocolby1395]

Ohh Paul so sorry 🙈 Xx

[@fingalcromar95]

No Problem Jo x

[@jacobsgranddaughter]

[@ProfRybczyk]

I will now commence to burning my fiddle.

[@fingalcromar95]

Don't do that but thank you.

[@MysticHeather]

Have you done a workshop or video on how to play this the way you do??

[@fingalcromar95]

Done quite a few Heather but not on this tune. However if you have a look at one of the workshops on playing slow airs it'll give you a fair idea of how I approach slow tunes. Will give you a link. All the best, Paul.

[@surochurro]

Sheet music?

[@fingalcromar95]

@surochurro don't think I've ever seen the music; picked it up by ear. The double stopping was more or less improvised.

[@surochurro]

Thanks for replying. I’ll try and listen and learn!

[@CooperViolins]

I can play that tune but not like that! Nice acoustics in that room too

[@ulovaht1969]

Lucky you what a echo , the hidden missing parts of melody

[@sethkinle2254]

In what key did you play this, please?

[@fingalcromar95]

It's in A Seth. All the best, Paul.

[@sethkinle2254]

@@fingalcromar95 I really appreciate it. Thank you. I'd love to hear you play Calum Sgaire if you ever get the chance.

[@smoelkenwemad4335]

Beautiful!!!

[@fingalcromar95]
