Subject: RE: Are there any English slow airs?
There don't seem to be many played in sessions, if you don't count waltzes. For that reason Mary and I introduced the Sun Assembly into our repertoire. It's an 18th century dance tune, slow and graceful and still danced now in some places, and we thought it fitted the bill very nicely.

There's lots of Northumbrian pipe tunes like Wild Hills of Wannie, of course.
