Hornpipes on guitar played by Tim Edey

A couple of hornpipes from Tim, the 2nd is The golden eagle which was first learned from the great box player Luke Daniels when Tim was aged 15 in Broadstairs folk festival, the first we are sorry we do not know the name but know its an English or Northrumbian tune. Guitar is in dropped d tuning and Tim has produced a teaching dvd for this style and tuning he plays in, available from www.timedey.co.uk

One of the best Living guitarists ever. His understanding of music and ability to bring alive what he hears in his mind is phenomenal.

In Ireland the first tune is known as "The Chaffpool Post" and also known as "The Glenbeigh". It's regarded as a barndance more than a hornpipe. This is some outstanding guitar playing.

Hi Tim, the first tune is Irish, a barndance, recorded by Michael Coleman in 1927 as James Gannon's Hornpipe. Gannon taught Coleman and as Coleman left from the USA in 1914 at the age of 24 the tune is perhaps much older still. DeDannan recorded it as the Glenbeigh Hornpipe. it is also know in Ireland as the Curlew Hills.

There is some discussion on the tune called Bielbie's Hornpipe, first noted on record in 1983, there are on line references , but no dots for a tune of that name from the 18th century. Anyone in Northumbria seen a manuscript of it?

OK I did a bit more digging on the web, thanks to Andrew Kuntz who has done the big spade work. He reckons it began as a German Polka ,some time around 1840, polkas began to sweep Eurooe form 1835. One early reference (1842) is from Australia.

The first part of the first tune is almost identical to a tune I learned at Whitby Folk Week last year called A Little Cup of Coffee and a Little More Tea. The folk who I picked it up from said it was from Gloucestershire. Here's the only other video of it I can find. A Little Cup of Coffee and a Little More Tea - Lester - melodeon

[@sarahleach9997]

[@Multiboxes]

I know the first one as Bielby's, a Northumbrian tune.

[@paulkinsella1137]

1st hornpipe is fisher's hornpipe if I'm not mistaken.

[@tomweekes5602]

1st tune sounds like the Glenbeigh Hornpipe - in parts.

[@charliemcgettigan5663]

Beautiful playing! How did you record it? What mic set up did you use? Charlie
