Stephen Wake tabs

[Andyrondack]

I have seen it noted on internet forums that some of Stephen Wake's arrangements are in CGDGAD tuning and not his usual Orkney or DADGAD.
Can anyone tell me which of his arrangements are in CGDGAD? There's no way to tell from his Bandcamp site page.
Thanks.

I have lots of tabs of Stephen, but only 3 of them are in CGDGAD:
Cairn Water, Mairi Bhan Og and The Willow Tree.
All the other tabs are CGDGCD or in DADGAD.

Thanks for that info Peter. I purchased the Journey's End album with those tabs.
I would be fascinated to learn how Stephen found arranging with CGDGAD compared to his usual tunings.

I used a capo on 2 for Mairi Bahn Og because that 3 - 7 stretch was too much for my stubby fingers. Cairn Water and Willow Tree are really nice and were completely doable for my old fingers.

Yes that stretch jumped out at me straight away, I couldn't do that without a capo, Bb on the 6th string might work depending on the build up to it or Bb an octave up on the 4th string or just harmonise that A note with D on open 4th.
I have done a few arrangements in that tuning and I just want to see how someone else (besides El McMeen) uses it.

I've three of his tab books and he uses CGDGCD and a capo.

I can barely spell tab. Much less read it.
