manx celtic music and dance

Bollan Bane (White Wort) - a melody associated with the herb worn on the Manx national day, Tynwald Day.

This tune was collected by A.W. Moore from 'Phillie the Desert' (P. Cain) from West Baldwin in the 1890s and published in Manx Ballads and Music (1896), but also by W.H. Gill from the same source (see p. 27 Book D Clague Collection).
