 WELCOME TO THE TOWN AGAIN. AKA Talk:Eight men of moidert, Talk:I won't go a gossiping, Talk:I'll gae nae mair to your town, [[Talk:I'll gang nae mair to yon town]. English, Reel. England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard tuning. AAB. [FARNE, 2003]

''I'll Gang Nae Mair To Yon Toun is the most common title for this Scottish reel, of which there are many slightly different versions. This is a convincing 8-note smallpipe version, and the basis of the Clough family variation set.'' ''The tune forms part of 'Peacock's Tunes' a collection originally entitled 'A Favorite Collection of Tunes with Variations adapted for the Northumberland small pipes, violin or flute' and was 'Printed by W. WRIGHT at His Music Shop, High Bridge'. John Peacock's name does not appear as editor or author, but the book includes 'A Compleat Drawing of J. Peacock's New Invented Pipe Chanter', and it is accepted that, as one of the best smallpipers of his time, Peacock is responsible for the music, or most of it. - It has been plausibly argued that Wright may have contributed some of the shorter tunes. No date appears in the book, but c. 1800-1805 is generally agreed. To read more about the rest of the collection click the link below. To read more about the collection click the link below.''
