Contented wi’ little and cantie wi’ mair
Ay Waukin O
Green grow the Rashes O
O leave novels, ye Mauchline Belles
A man’s a man for a’ that
Tunes celebrating bridges:
The south bridge of Edinburgh
The Bridge of Perth
The new bridge of Ballater
The new bridge of Rutherglen
Clarinda, mistress of my soul
Here awa’, there awa’ wandering Willie
Variations on ‘The Lea Rig’
What can a young lassie do wi’ an auld man
Neil Gow’s "Lament for Abercairney" Cello setting
Where braving angry winter’s storms Neil Gow’s original violin version
Whistle o’er the lave o’t
O Tibbie, I hae seen the day
Invercauld’s Reel
The Catrine woods were yellow seen
Rory Dall’s port
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
The Highland Hills
Had I the wyte – she bade me
O Willie brew’d a peck o’ maut

The journey of a river through time and place, in music. Tom has written a suite for the twists and turns of the Tweed. The music ranges in style to suit the character of the flow - slow and traditional, fast and funky; folk music in older and contemporary slants.
