Title: Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Post by: lucienne on May 01, 2011, 07:54:02 PM Hiya,
can someone tell me if this is on anything that is available at present? Or the best place to get the CD "Expletive Delighted" from? Its nearly £16 on Amazon. Thanks, L. Title: Re: Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Post by: Ollie on May 01, 2011, 08:01:20 PM It's on the 2CD 1985-1996 compilation "Some of Our Yesterdays". :)
Lovely version of a wonderful tune. Title: Re: Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Post by: Pugwash on May 01, 2011, 10:22:46 PM Or buy the track for 79p on Itunes
Title: Re: Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Post by: lucienne on May 01, 2011, 11:13:36 PM Thank you! I've found it on itunes ... such a beautiful album. I have it on vinyl .. but my player is knacked.
Portmerion too .... sigh. L. Title: Re: Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Post by: ColinB on May 02, 2011, 06:41:25 PM Gigspanner recorded a version of it (titled Si Beg Si Mor) on their album Lipreading the Poet. Just listening to it as I type.

Title: Re: Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Post by: Big Martin on May 06, 2011, 01:28:09 PM Blimey - I didn't pay that much for Expletive Delighted from Amazon! Funnily enough it was one of the tracks that came out of my Faiport playlist (I've got as far as S) when I was listening to it late last night.
Title: Re: Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Post by: Rory. on May 06, 2011, 03:49:54 PM Swarb has been known to introduce it as "She Begs For More"... ;) I've heard that one, there are many spellings, I know it as TSidh Bheag Agus An TSidh Mhor, or "she begs and she moans" as the fiddler insists on calling it. There's another tune called "Drowsy Maggie", a really fast driving reel - when he calls it "Dirty Maggie" it takes on another meaning entirely. What is it about fiddle players? Title: Re: Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Post by: parkwood on May 12, 2011, 09:40:34 AM Ahhh, my favourite is this Baroque inflected version by Cormac Breatnach. Really brings the piece alive and some lovely variations:
