Hogmanay

[wunks]

I remember a fiddle tune with this name.  Can anyone play it?  I found Gavin Atkin's fine rendition of Hogmanay Jig on melodeon but I don't remember it as a jig although that would be nice to hear on concertina as well.  I think it was played on hammered dulcimer.  Fennig's Allstars perhaps?

I have an ABC notation for the Hogmanay Strathspey. I do not know if this is the one you are thinking of.

Hogmanay or Adieu to The Auld Year (strathpey) was added to The Session 5 days ago.  It's in A.  I play by ear so I don't know if it's the same tune as yours in G, ( I can slowly read the dots but don't know ABC ) The audio clip is so fast I can't grasp it.  it may be one of these but in any case what I heard was probably played more like a reel for contra dancing.
