The first tune in the video is my arrangement, using GarageBand and Band in a Box, of Blaydon Races, the quick march of the Northumberland Fusiliers. Robert was in the Tyneside Irish Brigade of the Northumberland's so I thought an Irish jig quick march tempo would be appropriate.
The second tune I wrote in memory of both Robert and his wife Meggy. I started writing this tune 30 odd years ago and only finished it a few years back.
