On her 2002 album ‘Back To the Hills’, Kathryn Tickell plays this with Willie Taylor. She calls it "a family favourite" and it’s certainly from the Northumbrian folk tradition.
I think is a Willie Taylor composition, interpreted here on guitar by Martin Simpson:
This is on the old, sorry, auld Bonny North Tyne or Ho’ly Ha’Penny LPs, forget which. Billy Ballantine, George Armstrong I think? Wonderful…auld records.
Kielder Schottische
The usual tune which goes by the name "Kielder Schottische" is in fact a version of the tune known in Scotland as "The Lad wi the Pladdie" - and that’s the tune on Kathryn Tickell’s ‘Back to the Hills’ album. However, that’s not the tune given here. I don’t recognise the tune which Joe Heckels has given us.
