Fair Maid of Whickham
I have a vested interested in this tune as my partner is a lass who comes from Whickham.
Its not a great tune but its always worth a couple of times round. we couple it with a couple of tunes claimes by Jack Armstrong - Beddligton Hoppings and another one which i can't remember at this stage of the evening.
