Have some singing

[luzula]

Follow-up from last post: here is me singing the old melody and lyrics of Both Sides the Tweed, from the 18th or early 19th century. Could not find it anywhere on Youtube, and thought some of you might want to hear it...it's just the first verse + chorus though. I do like the two last lines!

Pretty rendition! I have liked that song since my favorite Celtic band Clandestine did a version of it on one of their albums.

Thank you! : ) Did they use the old or the new melody? I have not found any recording using the old one.

I only know that it's recognizably similar to your version, because I've never heard another.

Cool. Do you know if it's anywhere online? Can't find it on Youtube.

I found a 30 second sample online, otherwise it only seems to be available for purchase.

Thanks so much! Re: your message, it worked.

That is in fact the new melody, that Dick Gaughan wrote. But thank you anyway, it's a lovely version. : )
