Name that (early music) tune, part 2 - Nottingham Ale/Lillibulero

Back to Name That Tune this week! This is the tune that started it all! Read more about it below, and then have a listen to the versions from the video game and then from my friends in Seven Times Salt (who included it on their “Courtiers and Costermongers” CD)!

"Lillibullero" (also spelled Lillibulero, Lilliburlero[1]) is a march that became popular in England at the time of the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

According to the BBC, it "started life as a jig with Irish roots, whose first appearance seems to be in a collection published in London in 1661 entitled 'An Antidote Against Melancholy', where it is set to the words 'There was an old man of Waltham Cross'."[2]
