Sheet music for most of the tunes below are available
in .pdf format by clicking on the tune. Where there is an
adjacent '♫' symbol, clicking it allows a midi-file version of the tune
to be listened to.
The music we use for dancing has evolved and changed of the last few years. Many of our tunes are easily recognised by most folk musicians: |
|
Keel
Row(♫),
Kafoozalum(♫),
Trumpet Hornpipe (Captain Pugwash)(♫), Jenny Lind(♫), Hundred Pipers(♫), Cock o' the North(♫), Mona's Delight, Harvest Home(♫), Navvie on the Line, Oyster Girl(♫), Uncle Bernard's Polka(♫), Soldier's Joy(♫) |
|
Some are really
good but less well known folk tunes:
|
|
We are often
asked for copies of these when we dance out, and we are happy to send
the music to anyone interested for an s.a.e. A contemporary tune we use
is:
|
|
One for
Dan(♫) |
|
But what made
our music quite distinctive was our use of pieces from completely
different genres, although, currently, we have stopped using some of them:
|
|
which none the
less lie happily with what our dancers are doing with their feet. We
have also occasionally indulged in:
|
|
The
Sailors' Hornpipe,
Isle of Capri, Take Five; |
|
although only one dancer can currently manage to step
to the 5/4 tempo.
|
| Other well known tunes are in our repertoire, but are currently not used: |
|
Winster Gallop
Speed the Plough |
