Séamus & Manus McGuire accompanied by Garry O' Briain Mandocello. Can anybody tell me the name of this beautiful piece of music? (Clip from 1990)

"Hi Mike ! That tune you're asking about is a Shetland Island's piece called " The Old Resting Chair " composed by Tom Anderson. You can read more about it here thesession.org/discussions/display/1957. Apparently he went to see his grandfather's old cottage and found the only thing left standing was the chair his grandfather used to sit in ... or something like that.. ( makes for a good yarn anyway )"
