Kielder is Northumbrian Borders not the Scottish Borders, several miles south of the Carter Bar. The College Valley is also North Northumberland to the East of Keilder.

I was thinking of the kind that list members of the community and do a little verse about each one, but all titles have currently escaped my mind so hard to find them.

If coursing is included in a hunt, "Fields of Granemore" set in rural Armagh recorded by Belfast man David Hammond w/ D Lunny.

Old Towler

Bright chanticleer proclaims the dawn
and spangles deck the thorn
The lowing herds now quit the lawn
The lark springs from the corn
Dogs, huntsmen round the window throng
Fleet Towler leads the cry
Arise the burden of their song
This day a stag must die

with a hey, ho chivey!
Hark for'ard, hark for'ard tan-t-ivy'
with a hey, ho chivey
Hark for'ard, hark for'ard tan-t-ivy'
Hark for'ard, hark for'ard
Hark for'ard, hark for'ard
hark hark hark
tan-t-ivy'tan-t-ivy'tan-t-ivy'
Arise the burden of their song
This day a stag must die
This day a stag must die
This day a stag must die

The cordial takes its merry round
the laugh and joke prevail
the huntsman blows a jovial sound
the dogs snuff up the gale
the upland winds they sweep along
over fields, thro' brakes they fly
the game is roused true the song
This day a stag must die

with a hey, ho chivey!
Hark for'ard, hark for'ard tan-t-ivy'
with a hey, ho chivey
Hark for'ard, hark for'ard tan-t-ivy'
Hark for'ard, hark for'ard
Hark for'ard, hark for'ard
hark hark hark
tan-t-ivy'tan-t-ivy'tan-t-ivy'
the game is roused true the song
This day a stag must die
This day a stag must die
This day a stag must die

Hello,

I need some examples of hunt songs. I'd quite like one which is associated with particular place (identifiable named characters/places) and that has also been recorded by a revivalist singer from outside of its 'natural' habitat.

can anyone help?
