NEWCASTLE VOLUNTEERS QUICK STEP, THE. Scottish, March (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune appears in a 1799 collection published by Thomas Calvert, a musican who lived in Kelso, Scotland. A note with the collection states that Calvert supplied "a variety of music and instruments, instruments lent out, tun'd and repaired." The march was also in the manuscript collection of Northumbrian musician John Bell [1] (1783-1864), although not written in his hand.
