about

No-one really knows who wrote this tune, or indeed who Clanuff is, it was probably once a traditional harp tune. I found it in a book from the Irish Traditional Music Archive where it was written down for the violin, German flute or hautboy in 1724. I think despite the name it’s quite a weighty tune and I felt like it needed to be played on my baritone Fylde, with just the tiniest touch of electric guitar behind it to lighten the mood.
