We play it in the order Winster Galop, Jamie Allen, Salmon Tails.

The last two are considered core Northumbrian Tunes a bit further north from me though some think Jamie Allen was originally a Scottish Tune.

Jamie Allen was a real character, though, Northumbrian Piper and small time crook. He used to gather a crowd with his playing then his associates would make their way round the crowd picking their pockets. There is a bar under the end of the Elvet Bridge in Durham which was once a lock up where he was supposed to have been incarcerated at one point.

Leeneia: I have put a recording of them on my Soundcloud site. Played at moderate tempo on anglo concertina
