Peacock’s March
Much loved by Northumbrian Pipers, I first came across this tune played by Chris Ormston. I think it makes a cracking fiddle tune and has more than a whiff of the Swedish gånglat about it – or maybe I’ve just been corrupted by too many visits to Hälsingland. The tune is to be found in Bruce and Stokoe’s classic ‘Northumbrian Minstrelsy’, published in 1882 and is also in the first volume of the Northumbrian Pipers’ Tune Book.
