Thread Name: Origins: My mystery hornpipe
Subject: Origins: My mystery hornpipe
About thirty years ago, I learned this tune from a book of Irish tunes for tenor banjo. I remember the tune, but not the name - it was the name of some Irish town or village, as in 'The Somewhere-in-Ireland hornpipe'. I'm trying to recall it - two people have suggested Belfast, which I don't think is right, and another says he learned it as The Sunshine Hornpipe. I've put it on Youtube - can anyone identify it? But I'm not sure my clicky works, so I've added the Youtube link below it!
