I heard it first, I think, on The Committee Band's "Dancemusic" album. From the sleeve notes :

"10. Mad Moll of the Cheshire hunts / Enrico Intro + 32 bar hopstep x 8

Two well-known English tunes, played as hopsteps. Mad Moll was collected by Cecil Sharp from John Locke of Leominster and is published in John Kirkpatrick and Sue Harris's collection Opus pocus. Enrico is from the Hardy family manuscript Tunes for the violin and is published in Joan Brocklebank's collection The Dorchester hornpipe."

So they use it in a fairly hornpipe-y way and not too fast.
