This is a great fun arrangement of the popular 19th Century music-hall song, The Blaydon Races. The original song tells the story of a group of lads and lassies (men and women) as they take a day trip from the city of Newcastle to the nearby race course in Blaydon. They have mishaps along the way - a wheel falls off and someone gets a broken nose. This instrumental arrangement portrays the jollity of the trip and has some lurching key changes to mimic the bumpy and chaotic journey. This song was written in 1862 but is still sung by the people of the north east of England who treat is as an unofficial local national anthem. It is sung in bars, at sports matches and is the Regimental Song of The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Have fun playing it!
