For more information and an order form please see the Halsway Manor Society website.


All Join Hands

A collection of dances by Cyril Papworth, with an accompanying CD, published posthumously in April 2002. It contains notation and tunes for ten dances, many of them written for specific people or events, as follows:

Cover
1.The Capricorn Waltz
2.Her Own Physician
3.Market Hill
4.Ben's Confusion
5.Cyril's Maggot
6.Just a Few
7.A Midsummer Assembly
8.A Pint and a Half
9.The Broom goes Playford
10.My Lady's Measure

The recording was made by David Holland, Gina Holland, Anthony Bearon and TB (a bit) in a series of sessions in 2001-2. TB played piano on My Lady's Measure, and wrote The Pondskater for Ben's Confusion. All the tunes are played an appropriate number of times for the relevant dance.

For more information please contact Dave and Gina Holland or The Round.
