We hope to compile a catalogue with players, instruments, tunes, dates, a description of quality and anything else that may be relevant. The catalogue will be updated from your entries. Please provide your observations in a form that helps us to create and update the catalogue.
You will find the player at the bottom of the page. It may be minimised or you might have to scroll down. Volume is initially set to 50%. You can vary the playback speed.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2.45 | The Borderers | Jigs: Alan Harlan/ McDougall’s March/ Rab’s Wedding | The announcement sounds like a radio broadcast & at the end “we have come to the end of this Saturday’s session of Scottish Dance music. | JG GM | |
| 3.0-11.45 | Chevy Chase Salmon Tails up the Water Keelman Over Land Proudlock’s Hornpipe Derwentwater’s Farewell | NSP duet | Unlike the first 2’45”, this sounds like a live performance, not a broadcast. The background noises of banging and talking are not what I would expect at most concerts but there is applause at the end. Festival? Dance? GM | JG | |
| 11.56-16.50 | Cooley’s Reel/The Silver Spear/The Mason’s Apron | Accordion/Band | Dance noises | JG GM | |
| 17.00-End | La Russe/ Ward’s Brae/ Jimmy Allen/ Da Rodd ta Houll / La Russe | Accordion/Band | Dance noises | JG GM | |
