Kathryn Tickell & Rory McLeod - Song For Busking Ronnie The Remember Me Hornpipe

By Paul Rootsical

 

 

Exceptional Northumbrian smallpipes-harmonica combination from two of the great champions of traditional music forms; Kathryn Tickell and Rory McLeod. Taken from the 1987 Compilation LP Square Roots on the Folk Roots label. Traditional arranged by Kathryn Tickell with lyrics by Rory McLeod. I fell in love with this tune on the very first listen! Such fine harmony in this unusual pairing of two instruments from generally disparate traditions. Warm, melodic & atmospheric vocal from Rory.
