There will be a poem in braid Ulster-Scotch called The Scraich O Day and Ulster-Scots tunes include Muckin Oot The Byre, Drowsy Maggie, and Ower The Fiels Tae Tildarg.
Willie is joined on the outdoor stage by fellow musicians, James Christie, on fiddle and accordion, and Derek Montgomery on percussion and vocals.

Well done Willie and the boys
Good man Montgomery and all involved ❤️👍
Their fiddling sounds more like the Scots Irish in the Apalachias than the fiddly from the south of Ireland does. It has a minor key sound to me and more drone strings or something, but I don't know squat about fiddling.
