Northumbrian polka-like tune (the slight hesitation at the end of each measure gives an indication) Written in the late 1920’s. https://youtu.be/hECpAgPPH6Q
A catchy tune and a good Polka, Simon. Well played as always.
Thanks John, I found it in my red book which is where all the odd and neglected tunes (for many different reasons) are consigned. I actually like it a lot, it does sound Northumbrian or Scottish lowlands to me -if that’s the correct term. I think it could actually be played a lot faster, but on the pipes.
Sounds great!
That red book seems to include some fine tunes and you play them very well, Simon.
Thanks Jess and Christian. Up next. Might do a Christmas set with a flurry of Carols.
An intelligent, modestly subdued parlor style of white-wigged baroque (as opposed to wild whacky pint-swigging rave), so I'll call this "Nerd on the Still"
