The Sweep's Hornpipe

Please note that this is NOT the same tune as the Sweep's Hornpipe already on thesession.org tune database (otherwise known as the Belfast Hornpipe, etc)

This tune is quite often played at the Royal Naval Volunteer pub session, Bristol, England, where it is always played undotted (i.e. as submitted here by me).

I would be interested to know whether any session.org members are familiar with this tune, and - if so - whether they normally play it dotted or undotted.

We play it undotted at our mainly-English session in Cambridgeshire - great tune. Can't for the minute think what we put it with.....
