Borthwick Riddell's Hornpipe | The Tune Vault
Borthwick Riddell's Hornpipe
- The Tune Vault
by Stewart Hardy
A fabulous tune, probably originating in the Scottish Borders, which can be found in the Jack (‘Kielder Jock’) Davidson Manuscript, housed in the Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum, and which was first introduced to me by the wonderful Matt Seattle. There are no sharps in the key signature in the original but most people play it in the Dorian mode which is how Matt published it in The Northumbrian Pipers Pocket Book - Green Book. There is also a lovely A major reworking of the tune by the border fiddler Bob Hopkirk known as The Borthwick Reel. Borthwick Riddell was a celebrated nineteenth century piper from the Scottish Borders.

The Bellingham Boat | The Tune Vault
Просмотров 18121 день назад
The Bellingham Boat - The Tune Vault by Stewart Hardy This is one of my favourite Northumbrian Jigs which I first heard played by the Bay Band in Cullercoats. It is sometimes attributed to the Northumbrian fiddler, piper, tunesmith and dancing master, Robert Whinham. However, I’m not aware of any concrete evidence for this. Bellingham is a tiny market town, barely more than a village, up the No...

Rusty Gulley (Risty Gulley; Three Sharp Knives) - The Tune Vault by Stewart Hardy I first learnt this fabulous triple hornpipe from the Northumbrian piper, Chris Ormston. It appears in two of my favourite Northumbrian manuscripts: as The Risty Gulley in the William Vickers MS and as Three Sharp Knives in the Henry Atkinson MS. It is a wonderfully accessible tune and can be heard in sessions thr...

Neil Taylor's Jig (Willy Taylor) - The Tune Vault by Stewart Hardy Writing Willy Taylor’s obituary in the Guardian, his good friend, the great concertina player Alistair Anderson, recounts that the internationally renowned Shetland fiddler, Aly Bain, described Willy as the finest player of jigs he had ever heard. Luckily for us, Willy also wrote some crackers and this belter was composed for hi...

Storrer's Hornpipe (Bank's Hornpipe) - The Tune Vault by Stewart Hardy I was looking for a rant in A and my friend, Rob Say, pointed me towards this absolute belter. It’s one of those wonderfully versatile tunes. In the Scottish tradition it appears as both a reel and a hornpipe but it also appears in the manuscript of Lakeland fiddler, William Irwin, and the Northumbrian manuscript of John Hal...

Planxty Drew (Turlough O’Carolan) - The Tune Vault by Stewart Hardy One of my prized vinyl recordings was Johnny Cunningham’s fabulous LP, Fair Warning.

The two can be found side by side in O’Neill’s Music of Ireland. For free basic ...

Black Joak (Black Joke) - The Tune Vault by Stewart Hardy The Grandaddy of all the ‘Joak’ or ‘Joke’ tunes, this must surely be a strong contender for the title of ‘Most Popular Folk Tune’ in the English tradition. Dating from at least the early Eighteenth Century, it is hard to overstate just how quickly its popularity spread. Fabulous though the tune is, that popularity may well have been assi...

Blenheim Castle - The Tune Vault by Stewart Hardy This famous monument, more commonly known as Blenheim Palace, was one of Sir John Vanbrugh’s architectural designs, but one which gave him little joy.
