Thanks Mr Happy, I am not much good at that system of notes but I have the dots from Shrewsbury, however Ken who plays guitar would value the chords if you have them

thanks Les

You can leave, but you can never finish...

It's a slip jig. You can finish it by changing to a reel such as the Hunter's Purse.

Thanks Bonnie,

I much enjoyed your music with Packie, I think Liverpool around 1970 but it might also have been Leeds and Whitby.

Its a lovely tune feels a bit like a Waltz?

Actually, the fellow what first played the bugger three decades
ago is still playing it, trying in vain to find the end...

It's a fairly recent composition (about 20-30 years old, I think). I'd always thought it was written by Seán Potts but have been corrected on that... and doubtless will be so again, cos now I can't remember who it was   ;-)

Just discovered this beautiful tune in the collection shared for the sessions at Shrewsbury Festival.

Does anybody know its origin?

Thanks
Les
