Some time ago I was looking through old files of the Dalkeith Advertiser. There was a music club meeting in Newtongrange in the late 1870s on Thursday nights. The present Newtongrange Folk Club also meets on Thursday nights, and much of the repertoire is the same. The only real differences were that 130 years ago people submitted their set list to the local paper a couple of weeks in advance, and they used a piano.
