Back to Fisher Lad

FISHER LAD. English, Air and Reel. England, Northumberland. D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is given with two sharps in William Vickers' 1770 Northumbrian music manuscript collection [1], which makes little musical sense. The correct key of 'D' minor is given at the beginning of the tune in Northumbrian musician John Bell's [2] (1783-1864) music manuscript collection (c.1812). The title ("Fisher Lad") appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes, which he published c. 1800. Seattle finds the tune in John Bell's collection, reprinted (without credit) in Stokoe & Bruce's Northumbrian Minstrelsy (1882).
