Manchester Angel, The

Slide · 12/8 · A minor

The Manchester Angel is a traditional slide composed by Ewan MacColl set in a 12/8 meter and A minor key.

When performed in traditional sessions, this tune is typically played with a lively, bouncing articulation that highlights its characteristic triple-time slide feel.
