"White Summer" is a guitar instrumental by English rock guitarist Jimmy Page. It is an adaptation of the Irish air “She Moves Through The Fair." Page initially recorded and performed it with the Yardbirds and later included it in many Led Zeppelin concerts.
According to biographer Keith Shadwick, it is based on an old Irish folk song, "specifically derived from 'She Moved Through the Fair' in the 1963 version by [Davey] Graham, which he in turn credited to Padraic Colum".[1] The later Led Zeppelin song "Over the Hills and Far Away" was "spun off"[2] from "White Summer" as well as an unreleased 20-minute instrumental recorded in early 1974 at Headley Grange.[1]
