Christine Taylor's Jig

I love Northumbrian tunes they always have a happy feel to them, I learnt the Northumbrian pipes when I was 16, before discovering the uilleann pipes. I still enjoy playing the Northumbrian pipes from time to time. Andy May was in town last year and he was just amazing on the Northumbrian pipes.
This is a 4 part jig I think it was written by Willie Taylor.

#3470 = "Willy Taylor's Polka" ~ not a reel a typo...

Was surprised to see this posted today. Do you know any more Northumbrian tunes Jack? Are you going to the National Folk Festival in Canberra this year?

# Posted on February 9th 2007 by Dow

Now you've got his interest ~ and another Willy Taylor tune too... ;-)

# Posted on February 9th 2007 by ceolachan

I see you've been putting in some hard work going round cross-referencing all his tunes, 'c'. Very commendable...

# Posted on February 9th 2007 by Dow

Do you have to know Northumbrian tunes in order to be allowed to play in sessions at the National Folk Festival?

# Posted on February 9th 2007 by Donough

Hope not. Scottish pipe tunes near enough ?

# Posted on February 9th 2007 by Kenny

Hope not ;-)

Nah mate, it's all Bush music in Canberra... Be sure to wear your gear and corks round your brim... Slip - Slap - Slop!!! 8-)

I don't know Dow if I'll get to Canberra, I will be at Port Fairy and have been asked to play at the Goulbourn Festival. If I can squeeze the National in I will.

Well done C for the cross reference of tunes.

I love his playing and his tunes, those in he chose to play and those he composed...
