79th’s Farewell to Gibraltar

A 2/4 pipe march which was in the requests list. Composed by Pipe Major J MacDonald, and I learnt this mainly at sessions in Edinburgh.

An old friend I’ve long neglected, thanks for the reminder Nigel…much appreciated…

Farewell To Gibraltar

Very good rendition on an album by Phil and Johnny Cunningham which is called, I think, "Against The Storm". Phil plays it through on piano-accordion while a guest-player plays snare-drum, appropriately for a driving military march.
