A beautiful and very interesting video Gerry. I like the music too but I don't know it, though it has a very Scottish flavour.

Thanks Jane.Quite enjoy the videos now,although still to amateurish,hope to invest in a real video camera soon.

The music came from a compilation CD
The Group is called Altan The Wave.

And yes the other was indeed Satie's Gymnopedie!
