Albania Quick March An unusual quadrille-type tune. Wind players
feature in our arrangement, recorders start off solo, flutes play
a lovely harmony later. |

Billy Twist Hornpipe This
one is from a manuscript found in a library in the Durham area.
It's a rare tune and is one of our most jaunty numbers! |
|
Doncaster Races A jig from
Paul Davenport's manuscript, first published in South Riding
Tunebook 1 in 1996. It suits the fiddle particularly well. |
|
Fiddler's Maggot Don't
worry, maggot is a type of dance, not a bizarre pet! In this tune
we liked the sound of a harpsichord for the keyboards bass part. |
|
Leeds Polka Polkas are not
common this far north, but here's a good one. It's from the East
Yorkshire manuscript, which was compiled around 1830. |
|
Trip
to Meadowhall The original is a two part jig "Trip to Highgate"
from The Apted Book of Country Dances. The middle section
is by Paul Davenport |

The
Red House was written recently by Sheffield musician Ian Spafford.
It's named after the pub in Sheffield where the South Riding Folk
Network host a session. |
