Why on EARTH do you get handgun adverts as related videos for "John Roy Lyall"?

Your "Moorland Air" reminds me of this:
Bushes and Briars

Thanks for these, Tootler - it's always good to see/hear the music of other 'Catters. Sort of puts some flesh on the bones - and nice playing as well. :-)

Jack, I noticed the handgun adverts as related videos to John Roy Lyall and I didn't think they made sense. Neither the title of tune nor the tags seem in any way to suggest them, but there you are.

I enjoyed the clip of Julie Christie singing Bushes and Briars. She did a good job. They got the flute right too. A one keyed flute is right for the period and more likely among a village community than a multi keyed flute, though the professionals and the well-to-do would be playing eight keyed flutes at that time and possibly even A "new fangled" Boehm system flute. The actual instrument looks as if it was a genuine period flute. They come up from time to time on ebay, but all to often they are cracked so I don't generally bid on them.

Far from the Madding Crowd was the first film I went to see with my wife when we were courting so definite memories for me. I don't remember much about the story, but I remember enjoying the music which they seemed to get pretty much right.

Thanks to the others for your kind words.

Will Fly's comment above made me think that perhaps it might be an idea to let you put a face to a name.

On the whole I am not keen on "Talking Head" type videos preferring to use pictures of views around the North of England or elsewhere to accompany my efforts, though I do have a couple of other talking head videos.
