Hi
I am looking for a tune called The Readiiiing Summer Dance, preferably in ABC format. The tune is on the Magpie Lane CD Speed The Plough and according to the sleeve notes has been around since Playfords time. Anyone got a copy?

I think this is the right one (sorry if I've got the repeats a bit wrong). This version is transposed up high but can be played an octave down or transposed down to E minor for more comfortable playing on most instruments.

Cheers
Squeezy
