I've been planning to do this for a while, and now there's no excuse!
Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith, KCB, GCTE, FRS (21 June 1764 -- 26 May 1840) was a British naval officer who served in the American and French revolutionary wars. This tune is popular especially with Northumbrian musicians, but it was composed by James Hook (1746-1827), an organist and composer originally from Norwich. I've known it for decades, having first heard it in about 1975 on Alastair Anderson's "Concertina Workshop" album where he is accompanied by Geoff Harris on guitar.
Anahata: D/G melodeon (Dino Baffetti/Oakwood special prototype)

Hooray! Sir Sidney Smith highly approves. This tune and the source for Sir Sidney's fame and the love of the people is his wondrous victory over that Boney guy at the Siege of Arce. Sir Sidney, the Lionhearted, defender of Syris, victor over the French Tyrant (or soon to be). This tune and the common folks dancing to it circa 1800 in celebration of Sir Sidney, the bravest of the brave, the intrepid hero.
Great tune! I'm getting the cuprinol out right now! :-)
Relaxing

Spellbinding! Great playing. Thanks for posting.
One of your finest!
Incredible skillful, and entertaining, Thank you !
Bloomin' loverly! I have never heard this played so well other than by my old mate Allen Josslin. Well done and thank you for posting it. Brought back some good memories as Allen seldom plays these days.
Excellent - exactly as I remember it and matches the sheet music I was using to revise this (believe it or not on a 5-string banjo)
I love your playing of this. I learned it off the same album, though still have no left hand for it. How do you remember where you are in it. I just seem to repeat myself till I fall over. And by the way, isn't it time you cuprinolled your shed.
good playing
A new tune for me I must admit,I keep getting a bit of Galopede and All in a Garden Green from it ...which is no bad thing 😏
If you too want to play as good as this, start rubbing Cuprinol on your chest!!!!!!
Sub-blimey!
