SOUTHERN SHORE, THE (An traig deasgad). AKA and see “Coey's Hornpipe,” "Dandy Prince," "London Clog (2)," "Princess Hornpipe," “Tammany Ring,” "Wanderer (The)," “Wonder Hornpipe (The).” Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Scottish/English versions appear under the title “Wonder Hornpipe (The),” with the composition usually attributed to Tyneside publican, fiddler, composer and sporting man James_Hill_ (c, 1811-1853), and printings predate O’Neill (e.g. Honeyman’s 1898 tutor), although perhaps not Ryan’s (1883) version “Tammany Ring.” See also the related “Bee's Wing (The).”
