Subject: RE: Is there a tune '9th of May'?
There is a tune called '29th May', it's used as a morris tune and is also called 'Oakapple Day'. It celebrates the day King Charles hid in an oak tree thus avoiding capture by the Parliamentarians.

It's one of the popular tunes for 'All things bright and beautiful'.
