Three comments

I’m pretty sure this is a Shooglenifty original-it sure doesn’t sound trad to me

Delighted reel

Composed by Shooglenifty fiddler Angus R Grant.

Delighted, X:2

This version fuses parts of the first version with much the setting in Ho-Ro-Gheallaidh. Session Tunes for Scottish Fiddlers. Volume Three, Page 13.
This is a brilliant tune. Listening to Angus playing it on the Solar Shears recording, he is so absolutely crisp and on the beat at a fast pace. It’s frightening. I’ll persevere trying to learn it. I want to get to be able to play along with the recording. I was lucky to see Shooglenifty play a few times and remain a great fan. I was also lucky to see Angus play in a small village hall on the north of Skye supporting his father with other guests. His modest mastery of traditional playing was as impressive as his showmanship with the ‘Shoogles’. An all time hero, much missed
