FAIR MAID OF WHICKHAM, THE. English, Jig (6/8 time). England, Northumberland/County Durham. G Major (most versions). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is probably sourced by Bruce & Stokoe, Northumbrian Minstrelsy (1882; p. 10) and the Northumbrian Pipers' Tune Book (1970; p. 32) to the 1770 manuscript music collection of Northumbrian musician William Vickers, and is associated with North East English musical repertory, where it is a staple of the Northumbrian smallpipes tradition. However, the jig was published in a few of the earlier 18th century London publications, including John Johnson's Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 3 (1744), Walsh's Fourth Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (1744), and Walsh's Caledonian Collection. It also appears in the music manuscript copybooks of American musician John Aborn (1790) and English musician Walter Rainstorp (Cheapside, London, 1747).
