John Kirkpatrick was talking about medleys of tunes in the same rhythm and tempo as played for a dance, not medleys of different tunes. I'm sure that's what he meant, whether you choose to call it a set or medley.

As for numbered tunes like Walter Bulwer's #1 and #2 - I thought that was just collectors numbering them because the original players didn't have names for them. The three Polkas from Fred Pigeon that Mary's talking about have become a set in certain areas of North London, but I don't think Fred played them as a set. We've heard at least one of them played on its own and with a real name (Hopscotch Polka?)

I'll have to find the tape and check now!
