Two comments

Composed by Ray Ellis, fiddler from Wycogomagh, Cape Breton.

Sheldon MacNeil’s, X:2

It’s just slightly different, within the final phrases of each section, in the connecting bars; sort of what Natalie Macmaster recorded on her album “In My Hands”. That’s actually a really great G set:

1. Moxham Castle strathspey (Dan R. MacDonald)
2. Mr. Thomas Forbes strathspey
3. The Moving Cloud (Cape Breton style)
4. Sheldon MacNeil’s
5. London Lasses (Cape Breton style)
