Listening to a recording of an ECMW session at Chagford in 2003 and came across a jolly tune called Wigginton Windmill
This is all there is on abc http://abcnotation.com/tunePage?a=tunearch.org/wiki/Wiggington_Windmill.no-ext/0001

Does anyone have the complete abc and/or dots for this please?

Thank you:)
I posted on the ECMW facebook group as well and also shared the link to the recording there if you are interested.
I cant attach to this post but its in my Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/up1j5wustqntfa0/09Alexanders%20HP_Wiggington%20Windmill%E2%80%A6.mp3?dl=0

Thanks for that sound link - enjoyed and must learn now! (both tunes...)

[Caroline]

Great, would love to hear them in due course :)
I don't have a low b on my Tommy or single row Clipper so would be interested in your take on this?

My posts here have always been requests for help and info so it's really good to have contributed something, albeit in a very small way for a change.

Engage the low reed and play it in the upper octave, whole new adventure 

[Anahata]

My take on this won't be all that interesting because I do have the low notes.
If all you need is a low B, though, on an 8 bass D/G you can use a bass button to fill in the missing note.
(or indeed the whole bottom half of the G scale when needed)

Great tune. Definitely one to learn, as with much played at ECMW. Worth bearing in mind though that the attraction in the playing of this tune on that recording is due to the high quality of the steady rhythm produced by the players, which has always been a hallmark of the ESBand's playing and especially TT.

Would this be the Hertfordshire Wigginton? I hadn't realised that there was more than the one near us in York. We live and learn.

Possibly a ref to this closed pub in Yorkshire??  http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/yorkshire/wigginton_windmill.html
There is, to the best of my knowledge, a windmill in Wigginton Herts, juts up the road from me.

Thanks Lester - I never knew that that house had been a pub. I see from the entry however, that there are still people about who can't resist adding a totally unnecessary extra "g". Do you get that with yours?
