To Declan:

Click on the link on the home page which takes you to the "Our CD" page as you said, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to the track list and you will find a link to an mp3 of Haste to the Wedding on Track 9

To Malcolm Douglas:

I had a look at the thread you posted a link to and while there was plenty discussion on the origins of the ballad forming the subject of the thread, the only mentions of Haste to the Wedding seemed to be as a suggested tune for the ballad. There was nothing else I could see in the thread that in any way added to or contradicted what was in the Fiddlers companion regarding HTTW. If you do have better evidence of the origins of the tune, I for one, would be very interested.

Tootler,

Thanks. I eventually found the link and it is Haste to the Wedding as I know it.

The link on the top page which says listen here should point directly to this track.

Hi
Yes the link from the home page went to the 'our CD page' - it now goes to the page but at the sample for HTTW track

Thanks for this

I have recollections,that the tune fits a dance by that name,the tune is very distinctive ,and fits the clapping of the dance perfectly.Dick Miles

Dick,

Haste to the wedding is the first of the "three tunes" which fit to a dance of the same name. The clapping is done to the third tune.
