MR. JOHN GEORGE CAMPBELL'S REEL. Scottish, Reel (cut time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Mr. John George Campbell's Reel" was composed by Scottish fiddler-composer biography:Robert Mackintosh. A degraded version was included in the c. 1833 music manuscript collection of the Browne Family (Lake District, Cumbria, Book 13, No. 20) as an untitled reel[1]
↑The Browne tune was titled "Gillan's Reel" in John Offord's Bonny Cumberland, 2018, p. 27, identified as the same tune as Peter Milne's "Gillan's Reel." While the two are similar in the first bar or two, they are not actually musically related.
