Y Gwr a'i Farch ( The Man and his Horse) comes from Edward Jones' Musical and Poetic Relicks of the Welsh Bards (1784), where it was given as a dance for five people. A perfect tune for Welsh Bagpipes. It can also be played as a round.

Nice! This is a variant of the Northumbrian tune "Go to Berwick Johnny".

Looking through this old thread reminds me that I did eventually get around to responding to m3838's request (see above) for examples of drone-accompanied anglo tunes, but don't seem to have announced the fact on here. So if you want to hear them, go to http://www.anglo-concertina.net/links.htm and click on 'Horses Bransle', 'Nonsuch' or 'Sellinger's Round', for examples of drone on its own, drone with added chords, and drones created without using the specialised button.
