Most folk had knowledge of ‘Doctor MacInnes’ Fancy by Donald MacLeod of Lewis for his friend Dr John MacInnes of Glenelg who was a psychiatrist. Torquil tells that the former Tannahill Weaver, Iain MacInnes, who often presents the Scottish BBC programme ‘Pipeline’ on Sunday evenings, has recorded this tune. Torquil relates that Iain MacInnes’ solo album featuring Dr MacInnes’s Fancy is ‘Tryst’ CDTRAX 182.

A new tune was “Dr Iain MacAonghais” recorded by the Battlefield Band on “Happy Daze” COMD 2085 and dedicated to our own Dr John MacInnes. John is, of course, the well-respected Gaelic scholar, folklorist and one of Scotland’s foremost authorities on the oral tradition. John is a regular Gaelic television broadcaster who naturally appears under the name; “Iain MacAonghais.” | Request pending |
This music was written by Paul Kirk who has a hobby of writing fiddle music. One of his friends, a MacInnes, directed Paul to our web site where he picked up the information and wrote MacAonghasi a-rithist. A midi recording was also sent along. | Paul Kirk MacAonghais a-rithist |
