Chris Drinkwater Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Guess what? I've learned to copy and paste. Well, in that case, Pete, you can come round and redecorate my living room anytime you like! And. if you bring your tina along with you, we can always play a few tunes together, afterwards.

Chris Drinkwater Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 But I may know it as Con Cassidy's - confusing isn't it. Never in the field of traditional music has one tune apparently become known by so many different names. Chris P.S. Pete. Your large collection seems to get a bit 'windy' towards the end; and thank you for including my Gardener's Delight jig in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tune has something about it but I'm not quite sure what. Fascination of the horrible possibly! X:1 T:Belle Savage (JW 32), La M:C| L:1/8 S:John Walsh Junior.

Pete Dunk Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Any connection with The Bell Savage Inn do you think? Yes, I would think so! Perhaps La Belle Savage was a noted young lady who appeared at the Bell Savage Inn Theatre, or more likely at that period in time a young man noted for playing female parts in the plays. I've bookmarked the page so I can read it in full later. Nice to see you posting here Dirge , I was afraid I'd offended you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the name because I've come across it before in an old book; it was used by Cassells as a trade mark in their early days because they started up business on the site of the Belle Savage pub.

Pete Dunk Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Here it is then. "By Request". Not a tune I would have added to this thread I have to say, titles can be a little misleading.

Pete Dunk Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I just have to post this one, it's a cracking little jig plumbed from the depths of an ancient manuscript and destined to take the session scene by storm once a few players pick it up.
