Carrick

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Carrick is a traditional-style hornpipe in 4/4 time and G major composed by the renowned Northumbrian pipe player Billy Pigg. The tune is characterized by its lively, rhythmic drive and smooth phrasing, making it well-suited to the distinctive open-fingering style of Northumbrian piping. While specific historical associations beyond its creation by Pigg are not widely documented, it remains a celebrated piece within the modern Northumbrian and broader traditional repertoire.
