The Overgate / Rovin’ Eye (Traditional Scottish Folk Ballad) - Sam Shackleton

Busking a traditional Scottish folk ballad known as “The Overgate / Rovin’ Eye” in beautiful Edinburgh, Scotland. It’s been a really difficult month but I decided to go out and record this song as it’s been a great comfort to me recently. The day before my father passed away, I was coming home from some shows on the train from Newcastle and I was listening to the great Scottish folksinger Alex Campbell’s version of this song over and over and since then I’ve been playing it a lot. Something about this old ballad has helped to soothe my pain this last month, so here I am singing it for ya all with lots of love and I hope you enjoy! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Also, for anyone in Edinburgh and Glasgow, I’ll still be going ahead with my two shows on the 25th and 27th of this month - get your tickets now in my bio!! 🤘
