Six by Two WGS329EP (2005)
Chasse Pain: Giles ChabanetThis was tune was written by the Hurdy Gurdy player Giles Chabanet. Hazel learnt it from fellow melodeon player Nick Cooke at Sidmouth.
Robin Wood and the Pedlar
This song, we slightly adapted from a version collected from George
Trainer in Sussex. We like to think of it as an old fashioned mugging
tale; it makes us feel more at home, being from London.
Little Polly Polka/Dick Iris's Hornpipe
Little Polly is a great English polka we picked up somewhere.
Dick Iris's Hornpipe was learnt at Sheffield Folk Festival
and is a really great tune from the East Anglian step dancing tradition.
Hanter Dro
This is a lovely French dance tune used for a type of French dance
involving linking little fingers. Hazel learnt it from Julian Sutton
at a "Melodeons at Witney" workshop.
Sovay
This is a great song about a woman trying to find out if her lover
is worthy enough to marry. I wonder if he did marry her after this....she’s
certainly not for the weak hearted.
Glorishears/Eleanor Rigby
Glorishears is a Morris tune; this version is from the
Fieldtown tradition. Eleanor Rigby is the result of a Music
Technology experiment as part of Emily's AS level coursework.
