This is really annoying me!I used to play in a ceilidh band, and we used to play this tune. I can't remember its name, or the dance either!
Can anyone put me out of my misery? More to the point, as I was the bass player, I can't even be sure I've got the tune exactly right, though it's pretty close.
I've been playing it on my accordion recently, and it will porobably end up on my new album (if I ever get round to it!), and the tune is already changing as I play it - either because I'm remembering it better, or forgetting it more!!
