Dance Information

At last year's Midwest Scottish Weekend the musicians were playing a familiar tune that turned out to be The Barnyards of Delgaty - a name I didn't recognize although I knew I knew it from somewhere where it was sung. Later I realized it was the second tune from my favorite track for Bratach Bana.

The suggested track is the only track in my collection of SCD music that contains this tune and is not a track for Bratach Bana; it has a nice collection of fun tunes.

Suggested music is Mr William Brown's Reel from Thistle Hall by Peter Elmes.
