Remembering the many good times and music shared with fiddle player and song-writer Ian Sinclair, of Thurso, in the far North of Scotland RIP.
Ian was a member of the quartet Mirk, and this instrumental track - P.M. George Rosss Farewell To The Black Watch / Captain Lachlan MacPhail of Tiree - is taken from their 1982 LP recording Tak A Dram, and is posted here as a tribute. To the best of my knowledge, it was the first recording in Scotland ever to feature electronic bagpipes, played by Andy Corsie.")
