Hello Conrad, they are all old English folk songs, some of them go with a real swing! Most older English people would know these and be able to sing the words! Many thanks for watching!
The first march, Lincolnshire Poacher, is the regimental quick march of the Lincoln & Welland Regiment, of St. Catharines, Lincoln County, Ontario, CANADA. I was a member of the L&W 1963-66. Transfered to RCR, London, Ontario, CANADA, 1966-73. RCR regimental quick march is St. Catharines! Pro Patria! Regards from London, Ontario, 🇨🇦
Hi Phil, thanks for the information, and many thanks for visiting the channel, and hello from Birmingham UKl! Yes, there's a few regimental marches in the medley. "Come lasses and lads" was the march of the South Staffordshire Regiment, and "a hunting we will go" was used by the Leicestershire Regiment. I've got an L.P. of the RCR band and pipes and drums in my collection. The Canadian military bands are excellent!
Hopefully I will not be qualified as a know-it-all, when, as a Bavarian, I dare to add some information, which I hope, is of interest. The Lincolnshire Poacher was of course also the quick march of the Lincolnshire Regt. (10th, Royal from 1946) and before 1881 of the 69th (South Lincolns., then 2nd Bn The Welch Regt.). Was also used by the 40th (2nd Somerset) under the title "Somerset Poacher". Other songs included here used as quick marches: Come lasses and lads (South Staffordshire Regt., from 1958 with "The days we went a gypsying" of the North Staffs.); A hunting we will go (Leicestershire Regt., from 1946 Royal); John Peel (34th Cumberland/Border Regt. from 1881, King's Own Border from 1959 to 2006); The lass of Richmond Hill by James Hook (Royal Sussex Regt). I have a strong interest in the British (and Dominion/Colonial armies as a collector of model figures) and like their music.
Hello again, the last full melody from 4.30 to 5.29 is an old sea shanty/nautical song called "Down among the dead men". The very short ending bit that follows is just the arrangement ending.
German myself, and I have never heard any of these songs before.
They sound light-hearted.

Excellent and useful historical information.Many thanks, and thanks for watching!
John Peel is one of my favorite marches. It was used in the 1950 Errol Flynn movie "KIM."
@@philwilson I like this film very much. By the way, it was also a popular trot march used by some Yoemanry regiments.
Great record! I've got a question: What is the name of the last melody? Or is it just part of the arrangement?

@@MrTrapdrummer Thank you so much! I have to admit, your uploads are very much to my taste lately :)
