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.

It's on the 2CD 1985-1996 compilation "Some of Our Yesterdays".  Smiley

Lovely version of a wonderful tune.

Gigspanner recorded a version of it (titled Si Beg Si Mor) on their album Lipreading the Poet. Just listening to it as I type.

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.

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?

Ahhh, my favourite is this Baroque inflected version by Cormac Breatnach. Really brings the piece alive and some lovely variations:
