matt milton What is a maggot? (folk dance, that is) (6) What is a maggot? (folk dance, that is) 13 Jun 16

I play several of them - Mr Beveridge's Maggot, Hare's Maggot and others - but it occurred to me the other day that I've no idea what they are and I can't see that they have much in common in terms of form. While I know what a jig is, what a slip jig is, what a reel is, I've no idea what a maggot is. That's the English dance tune, not the parasite. Can anyone enlighten me?
