Poll: Tune of the Month for September 2019
« on: August 25, 2019, 03:20:54 PM »

Hi all - this month's selection!

Shreds and Patches - last month's selection, narrowly beaten by a tune we'd done before (doh!). Let's try again... A John Kirkpatrick composition - here played by our own Jesse Smith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu_rTJyaQIE

Plant un Cao - traditional Auvergne schottische, in case you're interested, that's the Auvergne spelling. Plante un Chou is the French spelling of the same tune. Nice version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AQB5Md_lxI

Corn Riggs - trad English rant; here wonderfully played by Ed Rennie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgJ5fpC_NJE

Webley Twizzle - here's Saul's fantastic version of this; mine may be a little more basic :-) 2nd tune on the set; the following link drops you right at the spot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3lrCIJCZIk&feature=youtu.be&t=124

Happy voting all!

Cheers,

Clive

Morris Pedantry Alert
The Webley Twizzle should have a 5 bar B music not the 6 bar one Saul plays

There I feel better now.

Not that I don't love your very slightly de-morrised setting, Saul.

That's because it is much easier to dance.

•   Sunday September 1 – Pebworth Village fete with Pebworth MM 12:30.
•   Monday September 2 –Adderbury with Sharp and Blunt. The Bell Inn 7pm.
•   Tuesday September 3 – Eynsham with Gloucestershire Morris Men, Eynsham Morris and Armaleggan. The Square followed by the Newlands and Queen's. 8pm – 10 pm.
•   Wednesday September 4 – Evening in Headington/Oxford with Headington Quarry Morris Dancers. 7pm The Six Bells, 8pm The Chequers & 8.45 pm The Masons Arms.

That's the 5 bar B music version I take it? Cool - you learn something new every day!
