Mikefule Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 This tune is associated with a volunteer unit from Whitehaven in Cumbria. My Morris dance team, Dolphin Morris, uses it for a Fieldtown style stick dance that some sides call "Skirmish". We used to dance it to the tune British Grenadier, but one of our long standing members, John Baxter, once mentioned that he liked this tune and it fitted the dance. He has since sadly passed away, and now we use this tune almost exclusively for that dance, as a tribute to him. https://youtu.be/ukRJqL7NN54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 lovely jolly tune, admirably steady playing as usual, and love the flashlights ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikefule Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thank you. I'm fighting the habit of speeding up towards the end. I didn't do too badly in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
