I am revisiting my life as a post-grad student in beautiful Glasgow in 1995 full of visits to folk sessions to listen to these beautiful tunes. Maybe you were not even born then. Thank you for these wonderful videos and great performances.
That tune (or one very recognizably descended from it) was preserved in aural tradition as "Lady Hamilton" in the mountains of Westernmost North Carolina!
What scholarship supports your assertion? This tune has two parts; "Lady Hamilton" has five. This tune's tonality is a mixture of G Aeolian and G harmonic minor; that of "Lady Hamilton" is a mixture of G Mixolydian and G major, with an excursion into C major in the fifth part. The melodic ideas are wildly different: To me, the only discernible similarities between "Lady Hamilton Dalrymple" and "Lady Hamilton" are (1) the title; and (2) the tonic note.
...what I mean is that the tempo allows air around the notes so we can hear the intricacy of the melody and rhythm -rather than barrelling through it the way it's normally heard at dance speed.
Pure loveliness! The fiddle has that crying sound that older tunes capture so well- Amazing! This is a Strathspey, isn’t it? Also, have you guys ever done the ‘sound of sleat’?
I love this tune and learned it by ear from the version played herein, but I have compare it to the version in The Cape Breton Scottish Collection. Is this your interpretation or a version you had seen?
Great playing. Great players. 🎻🎸

Wow - that was beautiful!
A beautifully delivered Strathspey, lads. Great duo playing here with the guitar adding so much to the excellent fiddle.
Searching for Robert Mackintosh thanks to you. What a great tune!
Absolutely beautiful! I love the tune itself and especially your great playing! Great work! 👏🤩
Fantastic!
Masterfully done! There's nothing to beat the combination of fiddle/guitar or fiddle/cello.
Love it! As always amazing stuff and choice of tunes ♥️👍🏻
Thanks Antonia!!! ♥
Beautiful 😍 I’m gonna have to learn that one!! It’s so soothing I can imagine myself drifting off in to an amazing dream listening to it!! Haha
Sweet dreams
Love this one.

This one is very melancholic, almost haunting at a slow pace. An amazing tune.
Yes, my playing partner plays cello and I will take inspiration from Sebastian's beautiful guitar work to write out a part for her -thank you
