Stringers Hornpipe

From John Clare

It's very like the Staten Island hornpipe -just missing the ferry horn!

On its own.
Played with together with the Marfull hornpipe.

Sing John Ball

John Ball was a lollard priest martyred as part of the peasants revolt. He preached a sermon in Billericay, which gives him a local collection. Sydny Carter wrote this song in his honour.

 Here's a great version by the Melrose Quartet

 Here's a less great, but simpler, version by me.
