It must be 20 years or so ago, Hart & Hound Morris, from Hartelpool, UK,danced were dancingin Durham Market Place, when our musician, Pete Greig, grabbed a plastic rubbish bin and used it to beat out a rhythm while he rapped an introduction. Sadly, Pete is no longer with us. And I'm ashamed to say, I don't remember any of the rap, except that it ended : "... We gonna do a dance called Landlord Fill," at which he took up his melodeon and went straight into the first few bars. He hadn't told us he was going to do it, and we nearly couldn't dance for laughing. (Mind, we could usually find some reason for not being able to dance.)
