CALGARTH HORNPIPE. English, Hornpipe. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The hornpipe was entered into the c.1815 music copybook of Matthew Betham, of Towcett, Cumbria, and into the mid-19th century music manuscript collection of Lake District musician William Irwin (1822-1889). Irwin attributed several tunes in his collection to himself or musical acquaintances but did not attribute this tune.

Manchester musician John Roose entered an untitled version in his c. 1850 music manuscript collection (No. 1049). The first two measures of "Turkish March/Turk's March (2)" and "Dutch Skipper (7) (The)" are identical to "Calgarth Hornpipe" but the remainder of the each tune differs.
