Being new to the folk scene after playing brass for many years i only knew the tune "Rose of Allendale" as the trio / verse and bass solo / Chorus of a Quick March called the Moray Firth and so when i learned the words I played it in 6/8 time.
When i performed it at a well known folk club i was asked if it was based on the Corries version to which i replied "no its the brass band version"
This excuse has been used many times when i use the "folk process" and do something slightly differntly from other "Folks"
If anyone else uses tis excuse Ill know where they got it from.
