John Nolan Lyr/Tune Add: Drops of Brandy (19) RE: Tune & Lyr Add: Drops of Brandy 11 Nov 99


In the harvest season, up until the early 1960s, small Berwickshire villages like Leitholm and Swinton would hold kirns, and one of the favorite dances was Drops o' Brandy. If I remember correctly (and much drink was consumed at these affairs, so maybe I don't) the dance was a six-some circle and weave sort of thing, but the tune I recall (again, with possible flawed memory) doesn't seem to fit the words above. Any thoughts, Bruce?
