Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
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.
It has been recorded by Boys Of The Lough and others.
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.
