When was the tour of Thea Gilmore's EP that included a traditional Scottish song?
The Threads EP The Threads EP is an EP by Thea Gilmore, her first release after she parted with former label Sanctuary. The disc was sold only on her 2007 spring tour with remaining copies sold through the official web site afterwards. All songs were written by Gilmore except "The Parting Glass", a traditional song she arranged.
Ye Jacobites by Name "Ye Jacobites by Name" (Roud # 5517) is a traditional Scottish folk song which goes back to the Jacobite Risings in Scotland (1688–1746). While the original version simply attacked the Jacobites from a contemporaneous Whig point of view, Robert Burns rewrote it in around 1791 to give a version with a more general, humanist anti-war outlook. This is the version that most people know today.
