Both times i have been to a CC there's been some music. But both times sgeir/shard (especialy) has strummed a bit and said "dye know um, er, oh whatsit called..." and then sometimes claysie has rescued things, followed by shard and sometimes me murdering another half-remembered song/tune. Which is a bit of a shame.

So can somebody (shard, this means you) point me towards some possibly celtic tunes that are fiddleable for me, strummable for you and might have words too. Then we can variously know the tunes, the chords and praps have a printout of the words for a much better singalong.

Hmm - not sure about singing it though
What about Lewis Bridal Song (Mairies Wedding "Step ye gaily")

Will ye go, Lassie, go (or whatever it's called ~Mountain thyme?)
Mc Pherson's rant
Mingulay boat song
Northern lights (of old Aberdeen)

Then you'll probably want
The wild rover
Leaving of Liverpool etc.
