Well, googling South Wind traditional tune brings up a lot of sites with Irish, Gaelic, or waltz in the description, so. I've always assumed it's Irish.

[NSP] Re: SNP Tune South Wind
I have versions of this in a couple of Irish tune books titled 'An Ghaoth Aneas'. One of them says this about it: The South Wind. Edward Bunting says he got this air in 1792 from an old man known as Poor Folk who walked the northern counties playing on a tin fiddle. It is in Bunting's Collection (1809) as 'Oh Southern Breeze' Regards Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 May 2008 15:07 To: nsp@cs.dartmouth.edu; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NSP] Re: SNP Tune South Wind On 3 May 2008, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does any one know the origins of the tune South Wind from the Northumbrian Piper's Second Tune Book Page 34.
