I'd suggest listening to Billy Pigg a real Northumbrian playing this (Leader LP 'Border Minstrel' from the 60s)

evolvement noun. A progression from a simple form to a more complex one: development, evolution, growth, progress, unfolding.
Guest ,it does not appear to be available on internet.
I listened to it a lot 50 years ago, it was enjoyable, perhaps you would post it on here, if not it is going to be rather difficult to listen to if it is not available

If I can help, in the late 60s, Billy Pigg did a folk club night at the Marsden Inn in South Shields. I think it was the only club he ever did, but certainly the first, and he passed away in 1968. He was a great friend of Hebburn-born Irish piccolo champion John Doonan, and also Foster Charlton, a piper himself & stalwart of the Northumbrian Pipers' Society, and the three often played together.
Billy Pigg was always very reluctant to play outside his home, but John Doonan was a regular visitor and supporter of our club at Marsden, and said he could persuade him to do a night, as a trio with John and Foster. He did this & a great night of music ensued.

Tony Wilson, a Stoke man living n Tyneside recorded the night (on 1960s equipment in a lively club!). Gateshead Counil set up a traditional music archive many years back (it's now closed) but it is still available via the library website- the archive within is entitled FARNE and on there, you'll find plenty of material from Northumberland and Durham., including via the searchbox, the recording made by Tony Wilson that night-   Billy Pigg, John Doonan & Foster Charlton (on fiddle on this recording)- including the tune in question.

”evolvement noun. A progression from a simple form to a more complex one: development, evolution, growth, progress, unfolding.”

I’m fully aware of the meaning of ‘evolvement’ Dick, I was simply suggesting ‘evolution’ as a less clumsy, more eloquent expression of the same concept.

I really enjoyed your playing, Dick, and particularly like the B part variation from the Irish version.
