John Thomas's Hornpipe
A lovely old Lancastrian tune reconstructed from a damaged manuscript by Welsh pibe-cyrn (horn bagpipe) player Ceri Rhys Matthews. Although it's a traditional tune, because it's Ceri's reconstruction I imagine the copyright belongs to him.
I learned this tune from a friend in Oxford, and it's now doing the local rounds, usually in Cmix or Dmix.
