Help with name please

[Alan Day]

Here is a tune that our old band used to play. I have looked through the old sheet music and I cannot find the name.

Your help would be appreciated.

A 48 Bar three part tune

It's the first tune on the second set of Dr Faustus' First Cut, if that helps...

Thanks Ratface ,this used to be a very well known tune and more of a party dance with a whistle blowing at some point through the dance everyone stopping and then three beats (how I start it) and away goes the dance again.Almost like Musical Chairs.

It's thirty or more years since I played it and saw it danced.

A great tune though.

I have that as "Oats and Beans (and Barley Grow)..."

Pretty much same version (with fewer frills!) that I learnt long ago at a Boat Band workshop on Cheshire Tunes. They pair it with Nantwich Fair.

Many thanks ,almost exactly the name I was looking for in my music.

I am not as senile as many take me for.

Thanks I will put the name on the video.

Nice to hear you playing (and very well too :-) )

I hardly ever get to play that set now, since no -one round here seems to know them (or they don't like them enough to join in - which I refuse to believe)

 

I'll dig out my ABC, if I have it still.
