Matt Seattle	Byker Hill: background info anyone? (147* d)	RE: Byker Hill: background info anyone?	12 Feb 10
I don't know about Lloyd, but what Swarb plays with M Carthy here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3dJHy7mDck is the first strain of Dorrington Lads, more or less the Northumbrian Minstrelsy version. The vocal tune is simplified. The only 'Drunken Piper' tune I know is a totally different 2/4 Scottish march - there may be other 'Drunken Pipers' but they're not Dorrington Lads. As a very strange coincidence Martin Carthy later recorded the two tunes from the Dixon book I mentioned above on: Broken Ground Waterson:Carthy Topic TSCD509 [Adam A Bell; Dorrington Lads] No idea whether he made the connection to Byker Hill, I think that medley was Eliza's idea.
