Tweedmouth Hornpipe

by Susie Cochrane

This tune was written for my great friend Cheryl Stewart, a clog dancer and choreographer. Cheryl and I have worked together for many years, teaching music and dance in schools around the North East of England. For her birthday I wanted to write a tune to which she could clog. She lives in Tweedmouth – hence the title.

Susie has taught music for many years in both primary and secondary schools but is currently teaching French at Glendale Middle school and music in several local primary schools. In her spare time she plays and performs regularly with several groups and is musical director of the Glendale Community Ceilidh Band, which was set up post-lockdown to encourage local people to get together and play music every week.
