Cliff Hornpipe
The Cliff Hornpipe (or Cliffe Hornpipe)
Popular hornpipe tune in Britain and America. According to The Fiddler's Companion the melody is thought to have been one of the many justifiably famous hornpipe compositions by the 19th century Tyneside fiddler James Hill (c. 1815-c. 1860), although there is little hard evidence for this.
