- The very talented Kathryn Tickell playing the Northumbrian Pipes "KEEL ROW"A tradittional Geordie/Scots song.... it has
words too "As I came thro' Sandgate,
Thro' Sandgate,
Thro' Sandgate,
As I came thro' Sandgate
I heard a lassie sing:
: "O, weel may the keel row,
The keel row,
The keel row,
O, weel may the keel row,
That m-y laddie's in.
Oh who is like my Johnny,
So leish, so blithe, so bonny?
He' foremost 'mong the mony
Keel lads o' Coaly Tyne.
"O, weel may the keel row,
The keel row,
The keel row,
O, weel may the keel row,
That m-y laddie's in.

I’m Scottish but when I’m returning from England home always starts at Northumberland.
Currently stuck in London for Christmas missing my home, Northumberland.
Sat in Canada watching and listing to my Native Northumberland.
I'm sitting here in my home in France and remembering these songs that we learned when we were kids at school. This brings so many memories.
They are timeless David
Brilliant..my home county ..Newcastle born on the banks of the river tyne
So calm, and then transitions to a jaunty geordie jig. Perfect.
The Keel Row is a beautiful air indeed. A very old song. I remember singing a version of this in a choir in Nova Scotia as a boy.
Kathryn is a fine musician and great ambassador for folk music ......
There is no better music, it makes me happy to here this music.
A great ambassador for folk music .... she is that and more.............pity she dosen't vist Edinburgh.IF she does its not advertised
......
Northumbrian pipes , the first Pipes ever in the British Isles pre dating the Scottish pipes by about 400 hundred years
Celtic Warlord He is right they predate Scottish pipes
@Matt idiot
@Celtic Warlord prove it?
@Celtic Warlord if you're calling someone a liar then at least back it up , it may be obvious to you but not to many .
@Celtic Warlord I'm pretty good at history , but please tell me what I've said that is fictitious or horseshit because I can't see anything in my writings , if anything the horseshit is coming from you , I don't think you know the first thing about history , I think you're full of wind and pis , Celtic warlord what an embarrassing moniker for a tit head.
I don't think there is anything Scots about the tune or words, it's pure Tyneside Northumbrian.
It couldn't be. Keel barges only ever operated on the Tyne and (for a short period) the Wear, and Sandgate is actually on Tyneside, where the Keelman's Hospital still stands, to this day. We can be absolutely certain this is a late 17th or early 18th century song from Tyneside, as it makes no sense originating anywhere else. The fact that it was first printed down in 1770, by an Edinburgh print house, and the melody was copied by other Scottish folk revivalists in later times, is where the confusion probably arrises.
@@kettlepickle The song is definitely from the Newcastle area but that does not mean the original tune is. That sounds pretty Scottish, You find this a lot in Northern English folk tunes. "O'er the hills and far away." is seen as an archetypal English song but was originally from the Scottish side of the Border.
@@strathbrock Nah mate. There is no proof, that "Over the hills and far away" is scottish.
The good thing is, traditional songs and tunes don't care about borders and nationalities.
Yes, the setting is certainly the Tyne, but I think a possible Scottish connection is that many (though by no means all) of the keelmen were Scots. These were seasonal workers who spent most of the year as keelmen on the Tyne but then returned home to Scotland over the winter when the coastal coal trade was in its annual lull (though the trade grew less seasonal from the early 18th century). Some suggest that the 'blue bonnet' is a nod to the lad being Scottish, as these were supposed to be common among Scottish keelmen and might even have had Jacobite connotations (as opposed to Newcastle's renowned loyalty to the Hannoverian King Georges - from where we get 'Geordie').
@@lefoix4629 Apart from the fact that the earliest version is normally ascribed as Southern Scottish . The Keel Row is certainly from Newcastle in the form we know it.
We are singing this in school
Howay the lads!
You wrote precisely what I was going to write. She's astonishingly good. Mind you, I didn't realise quite how good until I heard this arrangement. I wish you peace and well-being.
Found this song mentioned in "The Rout of the White Hussars" by Kipling. Marvelous!
It is not Scots. The words relate to Newcastle. These small pipes are Northumbrian
Small pipes were played in Southern Scotland and Ireland as well.
Scots trying to claim everything it seems.
@@lefoix4629 don't talk shite as Scottish smallpipes sound different than Northumberland pipes and anyone with brain would know that too
I’ve played this song with an ensemble of instruments, it’s amazing
Tyneside, Scotland, Ireland even, I don't care where it comes from - it's a wonderful air & played beautifully, by an obviously very talented girl / lady. Shall seek more recordings by this artist. well done Kathryn.
Allan Hance Kathryn Tickell
Love this! The song is great too. Definitely North East, not Scottish. (Much as I love the Scots and their music!) Love and peace.
Marvellous Kathryn Tickell playing a wonderful folk tune, which can be played in an authentic folk style, as here, or be re-interpreted by classical performers such as Kathleen Ferrier. Perhaps the most bizarre (and comic) adaptation (borrowing?) is to be found in Gilbert & Sullivan's "Utopia Ltd" in a song called "Society has quite forsaken..."
There's room for them all!
Thank you for your kind comments and good wishes
I think of my English Cornwall Chunn ancestry when I hear this music!
@MartintheGeordie Thanks for tour kind comment.....I spent my early chilhoos in Berwick-upon-Tweed so ive been an "Adopted Geordie" all my life
wow been forever since i have heard the northumbrian pipes. this sounds amazing! thanks for sharing.
This helped me practice for my band test :) this is truly a beautiful song too
Absolutely gorgeous..goosebumps
Superb variations
Nimble, intricate, perfect!
@456redcat Hi thanks for your comment the pipes ar actually....the .......Northumbrian Pipes
To all my fellow young Brits, listen to this, and then tell me it is not the same as the Gigglebiz theme.
I was just thinking that. Glad I’m not the only one. I’m sure they must have copied parts of the melody
Thank you for your kind comment
Beautiful
I was taught as a 'yoww'un' (youth) the words of the chorus were " the ship my laddy's in", as it makes for a better rhythm.
Thanks for posting this - I've walked 'doon T'Sandgate' many a time, and it still leads to the Tyne, no matter how modernised the street's become!
In Canada I learned it as "my laddy." Curious to know where you are?
@@BigBluenoser Back then, I was in Newcastle upon Tyne.
@@Vieweracc99 Indeed. Born and bred. The lyrics we sang were "Weel may the keel row, the keel row, the keel row, Weel may the keel row that my laddie's in"
I came across the name of this song in a Rudyard Kipling story and had to look it up. I am glad I did. :)
Outstanding.
WOW! Im doing grade 3 i am 11 years old and i love that piece so much!!!
I played/sang this song when I was your age too. It's a really great tune
My roots!
Beautiful!
Final Fantasy VIII’s Irish Jig brought me here, it sounds a lot like this. This kind of sounds like it wouldn’t be out of place in an NES game
Beautiful artwork, beautiful music. love the Dunes at Seahouses (?)
wow fantastic
Oh wheel may the keel row!
MOST BERWICKERS AH KNAA CLASSIFY THEMSELVES AS NORTHUMBIANS.
MICK GRAY. ALNWICK.
Brilliant stuff
wow, i've only heard this as a euphonium solo, for our regional competition, but it sounds so much better in the pipe thing.
Awesome!!!! Love this song....I'm doing it for flute ensemble!!!!
Outstanding!
This is an English song, from Tyneside, the word Keel is old English for boat(ceol), Well may the keel row.

@HaudMiBackPal Thank you for taking the time to make your kind comment
kind of did when you said being brought up in Berwick made you an adopted Geordie :P
I don't know what say that as a Northumbiran, the only locations I recognise are Bamburgh Castle and... maybe Warkworth (or is it Alnwick, I don't believe any part of Alnwick Castle is in ruins. the Duke lives there, man)
Perhaps if you incluided footage of Hexham Abbey or Prudhoe Castle...
Actually, hang on, I think the watercolours that I thought were of Alnwick or Warkworth, might have been of Prudhoe Castle... I'm *FROM* Prudhoe and I didnt recognise that!!
I never infered the Berwick folks were Geordies..............BUT trheres NOWT wrong with .Geordies
Hope you passed .with the help of Kathryn
starts her0:36

Berwickers aren't Geordies!
But they I Northumbrians.
Wow beautiful
