Caver’s

Learned from Oirialla : http://www.oiriallamusic.com/
I think I heard some similar version in sessions.

Cavers Of Kirkcudbright

Composed by Scottish fiddler Mike Vass.

Pipe Friendly Version

For whistlers and uilleann pipers out there.

Cavers Of Kirkcudbright, X:4

This is the version Brian Finnegan does and you can hear it on his album "toward the sun" with William Coulter on the guitar.

Re: Cavers Of Kirkcudbright

An arrangement for fiddle ensemble (2 fiddle lines, cello, and chords) is available in Weaver MacFarlane’s Choon Book, a free download from cracklingsmarts.com.

Audio file of this arrangement is available on Soundcloud (just search for Weaver MacFarlane).

Re: Cavers Of Kirkcudbright

And for those of you who aren’t Scottish, please note that Kirkcudbright is pronounced ‘Kirkoobray’. Oh, and Cavers rhymes with ‘ravers’.
Stay well
