Back to Mrs. Thompson of Gofton's Strathspey
MRS. THOMPSON OF GOFTON’S STRATHSPEY. AKA and see “Pibroch (The),” “Whinham’s Reel.” A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB’. A strathspey setting of “Whinham’s Reel.” Robert Whinham (1814-1893) was a musician, teacher, composer, dancing master and fiddler, originally from Morpeth. Graham Dixon (1995) suggests that this tune and Whinham’s “Gofton House Hornpipe” may have been written for the same patron, and wonders if the “Miss Thompson’s Hornpipe” in the Charlton Memorial Tune Book may also have been composed for a member of the family.
