One grandfather of Southern music and Southern culture in America. You could hear many of the same songs from Virginia to South Carolina. Everyone forgets the Borderers came over too, preferring to entertain Highland Scots fantasies.
Indeed!
Hail Northumbria.
Next time I visit the British Isles I want to visit Northumbria and Scotland. I had a taste of London and Manchester and I never want to experience that again. Didn’t even feel like I was in England.
Yes, they aren’t the nicest of places….
Lol you picked two of the Worst places in all of the UK. Why did you do that?
@@iagree6677 Wasn't actually my choice. I was part of a symphonic band that did a music tour through Europe in the summer of '09. Also went to France, Germany & Austria. Gotta say, the worst place was Paris.
Give yourself a few days and travel the Scottish/Northumbrian border, you won’t regret it.
@@averagesaxon2349 ah fair one. That sounds like an interesting thing you did there. I suppose seeing the world (even the worst parts of it) is an experience one way or the other.
Yes I've heard Paris is probably the worst European city but my Mrs believes the adverts for it and wants to go 🙄
What an unexpected treat Reiver. 'Wor Nanny's a Mazer' was written in the Townley Arms in Rowlands Gill. So the story goes anyway.
I recently found the grave of the guy that wrote it too
Really, where is that?
I am from Kolkata but someday I will visit Northumberland
Howay owa (translation, come here 😂). You'll love it.
@@racheljames7 thanks i will
I'm a proud northerner and i always will be.
Me too.
I’m from America but my family came from Northumbria, listening to the music my family probably used to is amazing!
I am Welsh, but spent a lot of my childhood and early adulthood living up there in Northumbria. As a traditional musician, I play a lot of Northumbrian music, even if the pipe tunes can be buggers to play on fiddle or mando. This mix landed in my feed, and, well, secondary hiraeth. Thank you for this. And yes, unlike the BBC (all too often) I do know the difference between Northumbria and Northumberland.
Northumbrian pipes and uillean pipes have such a mellow, rich sound😊👏👏👏‼️
Thanks I'm planning on visiting some castles in may that way I shall listen to this on my trip
Fantastic stuff, Northumbrian Pipes are not well known but sound beautiful. My favourite out of the bagpipes family (definitely no bias involved)
fully agree. however the northumbrian smallpipes comes second imo. first is the musette de cour. its a french baroque pipes very popular at versailles and its nobility and toffs. in fact the musette de cour is the direct ancestor of the northumbrian pipes.
As a piper of Scottish extraction, I will note that there is no substitute for the Great Highland Bagpipes.
Great collection here, interesting to see Cushy Butterfield of all things in the list, that one was a favourite of Tackeroo Junction here in Staffordshire.
Yes it’s a good one, often considered Newcastle’s second anthem
This music makes me want to move to the Anglo-Scott border.
This is great, although I'm disappointed not to hear 'Bonnie keel Laddie' thrown in there 😉
Couldn’t find a decent version sadly
@@TheJollyReiver Jez Lowe did a decent version of 'Bonny Keel Laddy;
Excellent … always love to hear my homeland folk music 👌🏼
:-)
Lovely music me n me lass have been exploring Northumberland for the last three months and I’ve fallen in love with the place
Keep up the good work 👍
Well, you've made my day.I'm cheered up as I sit in bed ill 🤒. There are some familiar tunes here that I love and have been sung in my family.Mam used to sing me Scottish sea shanties as a small child too.I'd really love to see Katherine Tickhill one day.Theres so much fantastic history in these songs.I've goosebumps listening.Big thanks 👍😊
Dance to your daddy @ 39:23 is straight out of an American Bluegrass reel! That’s not surprising considering how many Border Scots & English were among the Scots-Irish and English who settled Appalachia in America.
I love hearing this stuff! Thank you for sharing this compilation!
My pleasure! You can definitely hear the Northumbrian and border Scot influence in Appalachian folk music!
Yes... that is a very good point...there is no reason why cultural connections can't go back and forth across the Atlantic.
love the music from the north east.nice to her in the place i live.
Big up Northumberland, from a Yorkie
Wow! This is a fantastic channel, so different and fascinating. Old England, a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you, The Jolly Reiver. 👍👍😊
Very cool to have such a wide array of Northumbrian folk music in one place, thanks. I'm previously really only acquainted with purely bagpipe (small-pipes) and fiddle music of the region (am familiar with Kathryn Tickell, represented here). If I may, I'd like to recommend the album "Spirit of the Border: Northumbrian Traditional Music". It features quite a few different performers, but it's very cohesive. Not to attempt to draw attention away from this video :-)
Yes that’s a good album :-)
Thank you for this. I love my Homeland.
the Northumbrian pipes are so sweet and soothing, thank for this!
It never crossed my mind that Northumbrian traditional folk music would be Celtic in origin. I learn something every day 🙂
What made you think it was Celtic in origin? It sounds fairly representative of English folk music. The Celts don't exclusively own the wind instruments and fiddles, lol. Infact, much of the Irish folk music and songs have origins in England.
@@anonanon7497 Well if that is true then I didn't know that Anon Anon.
Listening to this after hearing about the Sycamore Tree... What a fucking travesty.
I really enjoyed this :) Thanks for putting it together mate.
My pleasure:-)
This is great thank you!
:-)
Good traditional music.
It's so strange that in England there is a region called Northumbria and in Italy there is a region called Umbria without being related.
No connection. Wikipedia = "...The name (Northumbria) derives from the Old English Norþanhymbre meaning "the people or province north of the Humber..."
@@colinshaw9923 I know, that's why I wrote "without being related". The Italian region has the name from the Italic people of the Umbri.
Strange also that there are the Pennine Hills in Northern England and the Appenines in Italy. Pen is a flat topped hill where I come from there were Celts in Italy too
awesome!
Thanks for this bonny lad...some great songs and tunes from my homeland here...
My pleasure!
Thank you so much Mr Reiver! This is exactly what i need.
i love my county and my culture
Awww so lovely
Lovely stuff!
YES!!! I’m all for this!
What a braw collection! A'm learnin' the Northumbrian leid.
(I must have written some Scots in there. I apologize if I did so. It's hard finding material to learn Northumbrian itself).
this is great music and it's relaxing and calming thank you
:-)
Now I have music to defend against vikings in ck3
Yeesss!!
Outstanding compilation and a great selection! Can't say how happy I am to see these treasures being preserved!
Did have a question on a bit of a different note...I've been in the process of collecting (to some degree) many of the great works of Western literature, but one that is currently missing from my collection is Beowulf, a classic. I know there are different versions/translations and was wondering if you had any insights/advice into which version is best or most preferable? Thanks man, keep up the great work! :)
Ok bless you Nice Wonderfull ❤❤❤❤😂😂
Thanks for posting this JR. I have a few Kathryn Tickell albums but should have tapped into the rest of this rich vein of music earlier.
Just to add that you finished this mix with one of my all time favourite songs. I find myself almost sympathising with those who can't speak the language. So much missed, but there's nowt that I can bid ye but that peace and love gan with ye
I love this
Bonny at Morn….the singer is Carolyn Robson.
Are these Northumberland Pipes playing in the first piece of music Jolly Reiver?
They are indeed
The lands north of the Tweed that were “allegedly ceded to the King of Scots” ought to have been reclaimed for Northumbria and England.
Thus pushing Englands northern frontier back to the Firth of the Forth and reassert her rightful northern border.
Those lands are rightfully Northumbrian and thus rightfully English.
As a Mercian Englishman I say…
“Reclaim those lands lost to the Scot’s, for Northumbria and our Kingdom of the English !”
They pronounce "house" as "hoose", like in Old English and Danish.
and Scots and like in Frisian and low-saxon, Drentish.
@@Herr_Flick_of_ze_GestapoScots is from Northumbrian dialect of old English
I know about that. no need to tell me that. Im a linguist. I merely stated that house is also pronounced as hoos in the formentioned languages.@@SandileNgwenya-gv7nx
As a former native dearly love Northumberland,however music is not its best virtue. This video confirms that. Nice enough but the Irish,Welsh and Scots beat us hands down in music composition.
The music is good what the hell are you listening to😂
@@SandileNgwenya-gv7nx Thought that would touch a nerve!
99pc of Scots Irish commercial recordings are crap- have you seen the stuff they sell at airports?@@hotelsierra86
Sandile ngwenya. =Sandile crocodile. 😂😂
for the less educated
Northumbria = Anything from the humber to the scottish border
Northumberland = the county at the north east of england
We have penguins? Wow didnt know that
Could you add timestamps in the description so we know which song is which?
Yeah will do this evening :-)
What is that primary instrument we’re hearing?
At the start? The Northumbrian Smallpipes
Me and the lads after we've had enough of the south's rule:
Correct your thumbnail now. The lands of Lothian is rightful Northumbria clay
We shall retake Edinburgh some day
@@TheJollyReiver Scottish Borderer here. We welcome you with open arms. ANYTHING to do away with the SNP :D
1:26:50 what event is this?
Names of Border Reiver families
@@TheJollyReiver thanks man, great compilation of music. Keep up the epic work 👍
Great collection, but the least you could do is credit the artists.
I did in the video description
Jolly Reiver? Jolly? I haven’t read anything nice or cheerful about The Reivers. Their bereaved victims didn’t consider them jolly.
You wouldn’t get it
@@TheJollyReiver What wouldn’t I get? Think I haven’t read Steel Bonnets?
Anglo Saxon till I die 🏴❤️⚔️
