Composed by Dave Swarbrick for Martin Carthy.I'm not sure about the key because of the modulations but it sounds ok.It's a march really.

Carthy & Swarb

This is a killer tune --- I play a bit of flute but after 30 yrs of that thought I'd try my hand at fiddle (haha) and I'm having a blasht with this; I think Swarb is a grossly underestimated fiddler. His electric stuff w/FC etc. is good of course but it's his acoustic tone that knocks me out and I find myself drawn again to all that lovely stuff he did with Mr.Carthy back in the day. I haven't been able to get this tune out of my head for two weeks now, and was (expletive?) delighted to see it posted here.
