LASS ON THE STRAND [1], THE. AKA and see "Belfast Hornpipe (2)." English, Hornpipe. G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Reg Hall (1998) says the tune has had enough currency in Northumberland to be considered local. The first strain is shared with "Belfast Hornpipe (1)," "Sweeps Hornpipe (1)," and "Millicent's Hornpipe." "Lass on the Strand (1)" is really "Belfast Hornpipe (2)," but the titles have become confused due to the similarity between versions of "Belfast Hornpipe" and "Lass on the Strand."
