Here's my setting of Maggie Lauder, certainly an auld tune as it seems to have first appeared, as far as I know, sometime in the 1600s.

The notation for my setting is over here - https://bagpie.net/auld-tunes-maggie-lauder/

Time for another auld tune. Jack Lattin was once popular all across these islands. Composed in Ireland sometime in the early 1700s it quickly spread across the Irish Sea and appears in many music collections of the 18th century.

I've been spending a lot of time with old tunebooks and manuscripts recently and I plan to share my border pipe settings of some of the tunes from them. First, a bit of background to my interest in these auld tunes.

Apparently if you tune in to Radio 2 at 0640 tomorrow you can listen to Jane Moulder, who edits “Chanter” - the Bagpipe Society magazine, talking about this year’s Blowout (annual festival/get together of English & European bagpipes, over in Leicestershire).

(I must try to get to it some year, and for more than the three hours I managed once before!)
