“A winner - bursting with virtuoso musicianship, vibrant dynamics, killer melodies and a rhythm section so rich it should have a cholesterol warning. . . a great example of the current barrier breakdown between folk and mainstream music.”

Re: Under One Sky

On the first track there is a tune I am really interested in learning. Alas, my meager musical skills preclude me from writing out the tune. I am not sure whether it is Tom Rose or Eigg Bound. It is the tune that begins with drum, and John playing D for several bars, before he begins the melody. I’m really hoping that someone will upload an ABC rendering of this tune.

Re: Under One Sky

Do you remember the time signature of the tune that it is you’re interested in learning? It’s been some time since I listened to it, but I believe one is a waltz and one is a reel.
