The Gathering Quiz Night.
I tried this on Footsompin' once but they're too busy arguing about Gaelic to be much concerned about music these days.
Anyway, here goes By what name is the tune "March Of The Meeatoiteen Bull" better known? (Whoever answers a question correctly can get to pose the next one...) “Don’t believe everything you read on the internet just because there’s a picture with a quote next to it.”

Yes, JAJ, March Of The Meeatoiteen Bull is the name under which the great Donegal fiddler John Doherty played The Drunken Piper, a well known Scottish pipe tune. The Doherty family were once known as pipers, which is why you find pipe tunes in their repertoire.
Another tune which John Doherty played was a dance tune known in Scotland pre-Burns as Lady Badinscoth's Reel, and as a song called Put up thy dagger, Jamie. Now it's almost universally known as... What? Nigel Gatherer Crieff, Perthshire |
