Billy Ross - lead vocal & guitar; Billy Jackson - clarsach; George Jackson - whistle; John Martin - fiddle & cello.

A Gaelic 'parting song' of the 1890s composed by Iain MacPhaidein of Mull. 'Not an instrument played wakens my thoughts with happiness as songs from the lips of maidens - Goodnight and blessings with you.'

Soraidh leibh is oidhche mhath leibh, Oidche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh; Guidheam slàinte 'ghnàth bhi mar ribh, Oidhche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh.   Chan eil inneal-ciùil a ghleusar, 'Dhùisgeas smuain mo chléibh gu aoibh, Mar nì duan o bheul nan caileag, Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh.   Thuit ar crann air saoghal carach, 'S coma siud, tha 'mhaitheas leinn, Bidh sinn beò an dòchas ro-mhath, Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh.   Good Night to You (translation) Farewell and goodnight to you, Goodnight and blessings with you, I wish you always good health, Goodnight and blessings with you.   There is not an instrument played, That wakens my thoughts with happiness, As songs from the lips of maidens, Goodnight and blessings with you.   Our lot has fallen in a deceitful world, No matter, its goodness is with us, We will live in good hope, Goodnight and blessings with you.
