Morris Tune

[Alan Day]

Here is a Morris tune recording,not sure of the name however.

I cannot find it amongst Lester Bailey's tune recordings.

Please make a note in your diary for the ECMW weekend I am running a session on Saturday Morning 29th June dedicated to all Morris Music, all instruments. It would be lovely if some of you can join me and play along.

I know the tune but not the name, but something about it reminds me of bells for some reason.

(Maybe I'll try playing it into Tunepal)

Pretty good dancing by the cast of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Though I prefer their fish slapping dance- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhJQp-q1Y1s

I'll post it (with Andrew's permission) in a separate thread - I can't seem to attach a file in a reply!

 

It's one of our best dances, and I totally love the tune. We danced it Sat night at our big English ceilidh extravaganza - we had 270 dancers!
