Hey Iain, I know I am picky here. Duncan Johnstone composed a hornpipe, name “The Streaker”. The tune we have registered is called “The Streaker Hornpipe”. COULD be the same, but not said to be so. I tried to find a source for the one recording where “The Streaker Hornpipe” is in, according to our database, which is The Corian Strathspey by Iain MacPhail and his Scottish Dance Band. Problem is, I cannot find a setlist online for this recording to verify if the name has been transfered correctly to our database or not. Until I have no valid source for that, I am hesitant to change the database entry as suggested.

I tried a more general search and found both https://www.pipesdrums.com/article/Long-live-The-King/ which mentions the hornpipe “The Streaker” among Duncan Johnstone compositions and also https://lallans.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article?id=103:sscd-063 which lists “The Streaker Hornpipe”. So I have add “The Streaker” as an alias and assigned Duncan Johnstone as composer.
