Navvie on the line

Surprised that this is not here already - perhaps it is under a different name

Navvy On the Shore

There's a reel version with the above title already here. It's the one most commonly associated with the Bothy Band Recording.

Different tunes?

I don't see what this has to do with the reel the Bothy Band recorded, apart from the name, and them both being in "G".

London Hornpipe

I know this as "London Hornpipe", again an American fife and drum crossover tune.

Different Tunes?

I know this tune has nothing to do with the Bothy Band recording. It's just that this hornpipe shows up as the tune listed on the Bothy Band page. If you were looking for the tune by the Bothy Band, you would be disappointed. No big deal - that's just the way the software works.
