Roger de Coverley

I deleted an unreferenced claim that the tune "is a development of the 17th century English tune Sir Roger de Coverley, found in Playford's Dancing Master." I've listened to Sir Roger De Coverly on YouTube, and it sounds nothing like The Cock o' the North to me, except for the time signature. There are several Google results, but they could all have been lifted from our article. Alansplodge (talk) 19:59, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Played on the bugle

This is clearly nonsense, because a bugle cannot physically play the notes of the tune. A trumpet, perhaps, but drummers were not trumpeters.

Can we review the source and see what it actually says? If it is as claimed in the source, it should be struck out altogether as it's simply not possible for it to be true. Calum (talk) 12:35, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
