I have a feeling that Mike used to play it on the mandolin during shows with Kevin Ayers and the Whole World, before it found its way into Tubular Bells. I'm going to have a little bit more of a look into this, as I've found some evidence suggesting that what's commonly called the Sailor's Hornpipe is in fact something else. Back to top
