From Deanta’s album of the same name. This is a song composed by Dougie MacLean. The first line is an attempt to capture the Deanta intro. It’s a simple tune it itself but the shifting chords give it the real weight. I hear this quite often in local sessions, sung in various keys.
Dougie was 50 miles up along the road last night, a great concert I heard. The “opening act” was McGoldrick, McCusker and Doyle [!] - and for various reasons I couldn’ t go. Next time maybe .
