Jim Besser Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 And of course, Lemonville (is it Canadian?) and The Quarryman (is it Scottish?) If you aren't frightened by minor keys, Teddy Bears Picnic If you want the punters to sing along - Hello, Hello, Whos your lady friend Lets all go down the Strand Fall in and follow me Man who stole the bank at Monte Carlo I do like to be beside the seaside Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts (I had to inhibit Bracken Rigg musicians' enthusiasm for shouting out BIG ONES!!) Lemonville and Quarryman are both very nice; have them on iTunes and never noticed them before! May try them with the new dance. Thanks for all the suggestions!.
geoffwright Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Keeping a Northumbrianish theme, Roman Wall and A. M. Shinnie (Fitchet, not English) will also tag along well.

RAc Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I'm looking for a good, marchy - not bouncy - English jig for a dance set. The tune currently used is Atholl Highlanders, which I don't like much. Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be a 4 part tune like Atholl, a normal aa/bb structure will work. Does Scottish qualify (thin political ice to walk on here...) if yes, how about Skinner's "Tipperty's Jean"?
