When I lived Cork Gary Cronin (fiddle), Des McCabe (pipes) and Pádraig McCarthy (guitar) had a session in the Corner House which I would go to. Gary likes tunes in flat keys, especially hornpipes, and after playing one of these rarer tunes he would joke that it was called ‘Chancery of the Armoury/Armery’. So, I thought that it would be a good name for a hornpipe in B flat.
