Ernest Tomlinson arr: Dan Price

In 2025, the Longridge Band celebrated a significant anniversary. As part of these celebrations, they decided to commission an arrangement of A Gaelic Lullaby from Three Gaelic Sketches composed by the late Ernest Tomlinson MBE (1924–2015). Ernest, a resident of Longridge, is a world-renowned composer of orchestral light music and was a patron of Longridge Band. He allowed them to rehearse and record in his music studio, conducted the band on occasions and gave his consent to adopt the march Best Foot Forward as thier signature tune.

With our strong connections to Ernest, and with his daughter’s permission, we commissioned Dan Price to write an arrangement of A Gaelic Lullaby. In doing so, we felt that we also wanted to give bands throughout the world an opportunity to share in our special anniversary and have made it possible for any band to download this music for free to include in their concerts, providing they give mention to the Longridge Band and Ernest Tomlinson.
