I've just realised (doh) I can change the emphasis of the phrasing for sorry the day I was married so that it does work! This is quite a learning experience actually. I am realising that to sing a slipjig you have to have a tune that doesn't move around too much between high and low and that has gaps for breath. It also helps if the words can fit the accents of the beat i.e. on the 1 and the 3 and the 7. I was reading up on Arthur O bradley and the full English group took the words from the archive and put them to the tune of when Larry was stretched. This might be a good future project for me....just need some time to do it! Anyway thanks everyone for indulging my slipjig obsession.
