Listening to the radio in the car this morning I heard the great version of Lord Macdonald’s Reel recorded in 1986 by Aly Bain & Lee Cremo, chosen by Lady Claire Macdonald for its ‘inherent Scottishness’. Oddly enough, it’s the same tune that the Höökensemblen recorded on their first album of music from 17c and 18c Swedish manuscripts, where it’s called ‘Englische’. Ha!
