Here is a great tune, which I enjoy playing on the fife and tin whistle - 'South Down Militia'
This snippet is played by the Band of the Royal Irish Regiment (TA) - Pipes & Drums.
The video is a little shaky but the sound is excellent - Rousing tune!

Mark,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing yourself playing the lambeg at Carrowdore - you look very serious in the photo on Mark T's blog!
I remember having an old "Orange song Book" by Richard Hayward in the house when I was a wean (over 50 years ago!) and it had the 'South Down Militia' in it for a reason I could never fathom.
Hi Philip;
ReplyDeleteThat was my happy face! Yes I do tent to concentrate on what the drum or drummer is playing beside me or one drum further up. Mark T did visit the event and enjoyed it, he also took great photo's and a couple of video's - now on YouTube. South Down Militia is a very good tune perhaps you could play it on your guitar!
Thanks for lookin in.
Mark
