@@GeoffWardsPacE Nope, neither of these tunes originate in Ireland. The original name for "The Gypsy Hornpipe" was "Master Erskine's Hornpipe" and was composed by Niel Gow (1727-1807). He was Scottish btw. "The High Level Hornpipe" was named after the High Level Bridge built between Newcastle and Gateshead in the mid 19th Century. It was composed by James Hill, and he definitely was not Irish. It's easy to look this information up, along with the styles that these people were writing in: though admitedly a bit harder than assuming everything is Irish.
Excellent playing of both hornpipes at proper tempo. Jimmy
Brilliant, Anders!
Mighty stuff Anders!
Very good

Mighty!
Lovely sound!
You’re really rocking dude! I wish I could play that fast and not get the fumbles. Great job.

Hard to beat a good polka, even if it’s English
They're Hornpipes, and they are Irish..
