Young Scotty
It's a good tune!
I think it's a James Hill composition.
I remember it as one of the many tunes played in the Folkworks Youth Summer School session!

Memories of crouching over the music in lucas's house trying to bash this one out as loud and fast as possible...RAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Composer
I thought it was written by Charlie Sherritt...that's what I have in my notes anyway.

That's definitely possible..all I remember is seeing this in a book with other tunes in and James Hill's name was on the page...possibly for another tune!
And Mehi, I thought you knew this without the dots?! I bet the lodgers were well and truly impressed with your banging at Lucas'!!

Well, I mostly know it, but I must admit I often relapse into dot-reliance. And yes, Kiki was thrilled with the noise - she really loves folk music, you know...

Wow, I never realised how much it sounds like Balls to Hall - those first two bars on the sixth line are identical! *gasp*

All bloody folk music sounds the same.

Foz OMG I can't believe you just said that... James Hill wrote way better tunes than this

Composer revealed
Vonnieestes is right: it was written by Charlie Sherrit in 1984 who holds the copyright. It's printed, with CS's permission, on page 33 of Matt Seattle's Northumbrian Piper's Green Pocket book.

Hey Dowmyster I think it's a good 'un...but yeah James Hill wrote a few classy tunes...I really like The Champion in E for a start!

Yeah i like this tune...it sounds like something that was once played on a french horn (I'd love to be more specific but my memory for classical music is shocking).
