It's obviously not Hamnatang, so please edit the tune details.

I Know it as Hammer our the Tang or Hamar ower da Taing.
Funnily enough it's on Fiddlers Bid's Hamnataing CD, Hamnataing being a headland on the isle of Mousa.

Hamar Ower da Taing
According to Tom Anderson in 'Da Mirrie Dancers':
Hamar Ower da Taing - As played by Arthur Peterson. "A fisherman's meid (landmark alignment for fishing spot) from the days of the handline or line fishing".

this gets played a lot in Newcastle sessions. Works nicely after Islay Rant, or indeed to lift any reel set really.
