Matt has also just revised his original Dragonfly publication "Bewick's Pipe Tunes" which is now published by the NPS and is just available (shameless plug)

The fact that the sound of Northumbrian smallpipes conjures up the sound of the hills, curlews etc etc to most folk(read the original foreword to the NPS 1st tunebook!!)is the subject of considerable teeth-gnashing amongst those who realise that some of the best pipers (not all)lived and worked in appalling conditions in the mining areas of SE Northumberland. And these conflicting images are still causing controversy.

Glad you like the Hill tunes book, Will Fly. Any mistakes in it are mine.
