These are archive recordings made around 2003 and when we played together as 'O'er the Border Band' we always began with the Morpeth, Rant. This is a pipe version of the 18th Century classic by Shields. The tune appears in a variety of settings for fiddle and can be found in Quebec, Bluegrass and Old Time music. The second tune is The Wind that Shakes the Barley an 18th Century Border tune commemorating a wild storm that destroyed the barley crop for beer and whisky making...boohoo, and the last tune is The Swallow Tail Reel an Irish tune from the playing of Billy Pigg the famous Northumbrian piper. These are all traditional tunes arranged by Gordon Mooney, Barbara Mooney and Shona Mooney.
