I am Welsh, but spent a lot of my childhood and early adulthood living up there in Northumbria. As a traditional musician, I play a lot of Northumbrian music, even if the pipe tunes can be buggers to play on fiddle or mando. This mix landed in my feed, and, well, secondary hiraeth. Thank you for this. And yes, unlike the BBC (all too often) I do know the difference between Northumbria and Northumberland.

Very cool to have such a wide array of Northumbrian folk music in one place, thanks. I'm previously really only acquainted with purely bagpipe (small-pipes) and fiddle music of the region (am familiar with Kathryn Tickell, represented here). If I may, I'd like to recommend the album "Spirit of the Border: Northumbrian Traditional Music". It features quite a few different performers, but it's very cohesive. Not to attempt to draw attention away from this video :-)

What made you think it was Celtic in origin? It sounds fairly representative of English folk music. The Celts don't exclusively own the wind instruments and fiddles, lol. Infact, much of the Irish folk music and songs have origins in England.

I know there are different versions/translations and was wondering if you had any insights/advice into which version is best or most preferable? Thanks man, keep up the great work! :)

The lands north of the Tweed that were “allegedly ceded to the King of Scots” ought to have been reclaimed for Northumbria and England. Thus pushing Englands northern frontier back to the Firth of the Forth and reassert her rightful northern border. Those lands are rightfully Northumbrian and thus rightfully English. As a Mercian Englishman I say… “Reclaim those lands lost to the Scot’s, for Northumbria and our Kingdom of the English !”
