DESCRIPTION: Battlefield Band performing The Boar and the Fox from the album Home Is Where The Van Is. The line-up at that time was Alan Reid, Brian McNeill, Duncan MacGillivray and Ged Foley.
This unusual and macabre song was found in James Hogg's 'Tales of the Borders' and may be an allegory based on a political murder in Scottish history. The melody is a pipe tune called Sleep Dearie Sleep.
