about

HUNTING FOR ANGUS
(E MacPherson/K Rowan)

The tune started life during a trip to Applecross and was still in its infancy when we lost Angus for the last time. It has taken on a whole new meaning since then with Kaela telling us of many of Angus’s hangouts, the places he might go on the galavant and the places we might look if he didn’t want to be found.

It is opened by a poem written by Magi MacGlyn, resident poet of Balquhidder. Angus and Magi would occasionally see each other across the road, hitchhiking in opposite directions. Like in a spaghetti western … their eyes would meet.

Hunting for Angus has become a favourite song to play live, a big tune.

Featuring Musick Art an Dance by Magi McGlynn, read by the poet.

lyrics

HUNTING FOR ANGUS (K ROWAN)
The Shore Bar and Rod’s doorway,

Lochyside and the roadside,

Glenuig and Arnhem Land,

And the Isle of Eigg,

And Maggie and Wes’s kitchen

A Treehouse in Roshven,

Val’s garden, the caravan up north

The Reverie Bar, the Nether Lochaber,

Arisaig and Ballachan,

Salt Spring Island and Mhor 84,

Fitzroy Crossing, Ceol na Mara,

And Jinni’s flat in Leith, and Parc and Dubh,

Rose Cottage, Stella Maris, and Ca Baleño,

Clunes Avenue and sometimes…

San Juan de Arbo


The bright long road that

You ventured up and down

And all the houses

And trees and laughs and love

And all the skies that

You saw were all your own

And all the friends where

You made yourself and home


And, oh the music

And, oh the songs were sung

That kept us staying

Stayin’ up all night

And in the mornin’

Before we’d been to bed

It was time for ‘Willin’

And time to sing the ‘Dead’


Lochailort Inn, Casa das Crechas,

And the Birnum Hotel,

Sorrelwood and Fergie’s,

Achintee Farm, Doune Terrace and Leiden,

Jim and Franzi’s, and the High Street,

And Caol Community Centre

El Retiro, and Marnoch and Glenfinnan,

MacLeod’s at Lundavra

And Glen Nevis and sometimes…

Vigo
