The Brook

Transcribed from Dan Gurney’s album. The transcription isn’t based on any particular one of his takes on the tune but I’ve tried to incorporate variations from all 3 times through.

Written by…

Written by Andy Martyn and Kevin Boyle of the London based group La Cheile (La Kayla)and recorded on their recent album "Out of the West". La Cheile were formed in the 70s and originally included PJ Crotty.
