Leatherwing Bat (Traditional Folk Ballad) - Sam Shackleton

Busking a traditional folk ballad called “Leatherwing Bat” on the banjo down a wee close (alleyway) in Makars’ Court, Edinburgh, Scotland. This is a lovely wee tune that is commonly sung across England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and North America. 🦇 🪕

I hope you busk often in Edinburgh as I'm travelling there in 2 weeks (from British Columbia) and it would be lovely to stumble upon you playing & singing!

Sounds great, but you should busk where there are more people! :)

[@sageuber8888]

Better sound for the video if there aren't too many people around though
