Drunk at Night & Dry in the Morning
An elegant Scottish air that Celia plays very nicely on the harp. From Neil Gow's 3rd repository 1806.
Hole in the Wall
A nice baroque sounding 3/2 hornpipe found in Playford's Dancing Master . It has been attributed to Henry Purcell
Mrs Maxwell
Or Planxty Madam Maxwell. A sprightly harp air by Turlough O'Carolan.
(See here for a collection of Carolan tunes)
Westmorland
A Thursday night favourite. Found in Playford's "Complete Dancing Master". Although it is written in 6/8, we play it more as a waltz
The New Dresser
Written by Andy Hornby to commemorate a piece of furniture!
More of Andy's tunes here.
Finnish Schottische
A fun and very danceable schottische in Dmajor/Dminor. Played by Blowzabella
Captain Nemo
3 part jig with a French feel from Blowzabella.
Gwenda's Welcome to Lancaster
Another Andy Hornby tune with a baroque feel, written for local fiddler Gwenda
The Lark in the Strand/Cliffs of Moher
Celia plays these great Irish jigs as a set so they should count as one choice!

Room for another one!!
