Trumpet Hornpipe (Captain Pugwash) Bluebell Polka

The Trumpet Hornpipe is often referred to as Captain Pugwash who used the theme for the animated cartoon. The second tune is Bluebell Polka. Both tunes were made popular by Jimmy Shand originally but I chose the more jazzier rif of G, G7, C, D#7 and G. The poor old mandolin survives another bashing and those strings cut into my fingers, now that the neck is a bit bent. I also had a go at the bodhran. So sadly out of practice that I am.

Wonderful! It's difficult to know where the tunes originate as they often share the same root. However, thank you for the information.

Blue Bell polka is actually an old American folk fiddle song: Flop eared Mule!
