Also known as "The Pikeman’s March" and "Wexford Pikemen", its origins are
with the pikemen of northern Ireland and it was used a training tool. The
ordered set of breaks in it are indicative of thrusts with the pike.
I think I first heard this at one of the Sunhearth gatherings. I don't remember how I came to actually know it but I must have heard someone's recording of it, possibly the Boys of the Lough or, more likely, the Chieftains with Derek Bell playing the cláirseach. |
