Obviously the title IS 'Barnacle Bill', but all the melodies (mp3) with exactly this title on KazaaLight doesn't sound like 'Blue Peter'. Are there two different melodies with the title 'Barnacle Bill'?There's a shanty called 'Barnacle Bill' or 'Barnacle Bill, the Sailor'which, at its cleanest, is a bit rude and can be extremely rude,depending on who's singing it, but the tune for that bears noresemblance to the tune Steve Marshall posted. A friend suggested thatit might be the 'College Hornpipe', aka 'Sailor's Hornpipe'. Another issure that Oldfield originally called it 'Portsmouth' apparently hewanted to call it 'Rum, Bum, and the Lash' but his lawyers objected,and that the Pogues used a variant on the album 'Rum, Sodomy and theLash'.I grew up in a different country, and so was deprived of 'BluePeter'.;-)HTHMaggie-'I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.'

Mike Oldfield did indeed do a version of the Playford tunePortsmouth, but so far as I'm aware he always credited that tunecorrectly.
I was sufficiently moved to Google for 'Mike Oldfielddiscography' and foundwherein the tune we're talking about, and I posted the abcs of SteveMarshall - who he?;-) is listed as being titled.'

With contact@ to mail me.Richard Robinson05.10.03 10:12. You are right. I have found the notes to 'College hornpipe' or 'Sailor's hornpipe' at Maybe somebody knows who has written this happy melody? As far as I'm aware, the College Hornpipe was written by that most prolific of composers, Trad Anon.
Maybe one of the more historically-minded folk on this newsgroup could confirm or correct.Earliest Scottish source for it is Alexander McGlashan's secondcollection, 1781. I doubt it's a Scottish tune; any known earlierEnglish source for it will be listed in the National Tune Index (avery expensive American microfiche set which I don't have a copyof here).The early versions of the tune (particularly the manuscript ones)often sound somewhat Martian; it's one of those things like 'TheDashing White Sergeant' that took a few decades to congeal in theirmodern form.

Obviously there are some which are identifiably Irish, or English,or Scottish, but in general hornpipes are so widely popular andwell-travelled that, to me, they fly under an international flag.
Forexample, 'The Dundee Hornpipe' (also known as 'The Duxbury' 'TheKildare Fancy' 'The Pantomime' 'The Union Hornpipe' etc, etc) has nocharacteristic to set it apart from 'The Machester', 'The Liverpool'Londonderry' 'New York', 'Virginia' 'Swansea' and so on.Note that this is based upon no scholarly evidence - it's just me, guys.-Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, ScotlandFriday-Monday: mailto:Tuesday-Thursday: mailto:Steve Mansfield06.10.03 09:38.
