The Gael (The Last Of The Mohicans Theme) Cover by The Shanties (Promontory)

Why does this song have so many names? Anyway, here's The Shanties playing the theme song from The Last Of The Mohicans, known as "The Gael", and occasionally as "Promontory" (and sometimes "Promentory"). The audio is taken straight from the board at Smith's Tavern on 3/17/18, St. Patrick's Day, with a bit of post mixing done for a full sound. The band features many instruments, including a fiddle, accordion, mandolin, and banjo, along with the typical guitar bass and drums.

The Pigeon Pack strives to promote DIY music and life so that anyone can have adventures of their own.

We formed in 2016 with one vision: spread our music by touring across the US--in a hot bus for 6 weeks--and try to not kill each other! We filmed our experiences and compiled them into a web series. During that time, we learned a lot about what is required of a DIY band, and found this information was hard to come by online, scattered across different websites and forums. We aim to change this by being a single place for all information on DIY music.

We are all about variety. Each band is a different genre, and we hope to add a variety of videos to our channel that serve the DIY community in funny and informative ways.

In that movie, I was so upset when she jumped. I understood why, but maybe we could still survive. That was so sad.

That was really well done. A good drummer can make all the difference to this piece.

Oh, a blacksmith courted me. I hope that fiddle player is still playing.

Each variation of the song in the movie has a name, it's also named 'The Kiss', which is the tune we hear when Cora and Nathaniel dance.
