Description: | This may or may not be a version of the more common tune of a similar title; it is included as a curiosity and to see whether anyone can decipher its meaning - the ending has shades of The Rocky Road to Dublin, and while strain 2 is evidently in 9/8 strain 1 is more erratically written. Perhaps it is an interestingly wayward version, perhaps another tune entirely? This tune is taken from the Clough piping manuscripts. The Clough family are generally recognised as the most important tradition-bearers among Northumbrian smallpipers. For an authoritative account of the family's history and repertoire, readers are directed to the recently published book, The Clough Family of Newsham, Chris Ormston and Julia Say, Northumbrian Pipers' Society, 2000. ; Pipe manuscripts of Henry and Thomas Clough | Rights holder: | rights holder : Clough Family | Temporal: | start=1901;end=1940; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:C0100013 | Go to resource |
