April 2011
Yet again I didn't have my book or recorder, so I took notes of the new or newish tunes on my phone. These included Redwing, which we've since heard on numerous occasions. Another new tune was The Deadly Wars played beautifully by Terry who heard it from the playing of Ram's Bottom. I liked this so much I recorded a bit on my phone.
Some of the tunes turned out to be hard to track down. We heard two tunes which were announced as John of Paris. The first was unfamiliar to most of us, and we think it may have actually been Alexandra, which is paired with John of Paris in the tunebook Orlando's Return by John Kirkpatrick. I couldn't find abc notation for this, so I've put it in by hand - do let me know if you see any mistakes.
The second John of Paris was much more familiar to some of us, as it's a tune which Chingford North West Morris dance to.
We also played the Willow Tree which John Wells has on his FTF blog.
One of the late tunes was The Cotillion, which I think was probably The Sussex Cotillion.
