Cuddy Claw'd Her - OK, if a 'consensus' is reached by three people!!
But there is little rationale for recommending Peacock's setting to
players of Border pipes, as it is one of his tunes which are so
obviously 'adapted' to smallpipes by the replacement of all the low F
naturals - with high e, of all possibilities.
It's not a tune I've gone for so far myself, but Dixon's setting is
convincing, and one I've heard convincingly played by Pete Stewart and
Dave Faulkner. The Clough setting is also worth serious consideration:
it has the authority not only of the Cloughs but of the 'Charlton'
book, presumably from one of John Armstrong of Carrick's mss, and also
of the enigmatic Reavely ms., presumed to be roughly contemporary with
Peacock. The very lightly 'unadapted' version is in the current edition
of the 'little yellow book'.
And yes I'm working on all the tunes but don't have a camera!!

The consensus for September's TOTM is Peacock, specifically "Cuddy
Claw'd Her".
This tune can be played on the Northumbrian half-long pipes (which
I
think should be called the Northumbrian twice as long pipes), as
well
as the Northumbrian smallpipes.
Remember, you can post any month's tune at any time. I hope to
have my
NSP "Peacock follows the Hen" up soon.
