Maggie West’s Waltz
This excellent tune was composed by Mairearad Green from Achiltibuie, a young piper and accordionist. An occasional member of the Anna Massie Band, she currently tours with The Box Club and all-female pipe group Tachem.

A great tune, Nigel.
I had been planning to post it myself one of these days.
Mairearad is a lovely player who can make the piano accordion sound like a musical instrument. :-)
Here is a video of Mairearad playing it with the Anna Massie Band:

It was written for her grandmother Maggie who had the nickname Maggie West because she came from the west side of the village.

I did not submit it, JJ, but in the absence of any comment from the person who did, I thought I’d credit the composer.
Thanks, Nigel. I just realised that (Too late) after I’d submitted my post. :-)
Does any one know the name of this tune??
Learned it off a random Scottish fiddler I happened to be doing a ceilidh with and he unhelpfully has no clue what it’s called or who it’s by, but someone out there must do…!
Beautiful waltz, play it swung.
It’s called Maggie Wests, written by Mairearad Green.
Here’s the original submission
Hurrah! Thank you to whoever merged the two submissions. I did have a good search for it here before I posted it, but with all the different ways one can interpret the rhtyhm, I did not find it…
Great tune. Goes nicely with The Ookpick Waltz.
