Sweet Hesleyside

Fairly sure that this pretty, soulful waltz was written by Kathryn The Great. Tickell, that is.

Every version you hear is different, which is the nature of ( Northumbrian) piping. On her early album "On Kielderside".

Re: Sweet Hesleyside

It’s been around a lot longer than Ms. Tickell. It is in the 1970 edition of the Northumbrian Pipers tunebook. No composer attributed. Usually played in G.

Re: Sweet Hesleyside

I think I first heard this on a Billy Pigg ( Northumbrian Pipes) album.
