Halsway Millennium CD
The Halsway Millennium CD was produced in April 2000 to raise funds for the Halsway Manor folk centre in Somerset. It contains a variety of folk music, mostly from England but also some from Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. It includes tunes for social, morris and sword dances, and other tunes and songs, as follows:
1. | Burghees Hole * |
2. | Coilsfield House / The Kirrie Kebbuck / Bride's Reel |
3. | Newcastle * |
4. | English Sword Dance Tunes |
5. | The Old Mill * |
6. | Welsh Waltzes * |
7. | An Evening in the Bar at Halsway |
8. | Easter Thursday * |
9. | The Baffled Knight * / Orleans Baffled / Once a Night * |
10. | A Selection of Morris Dance Tunes |
11. | Parson's Farewell * |
12. | A Selection of Processional Tunes |
13. | Si Bheag, Si Mhor |
14. | Never Love Thee More / Steamboat Hornpipe / Goddesses |
The recording was made by a group of 17
musicians at the Manor on St George's Day 2000. TB played recorder
and/or banjo on eight of the tracks, and arranged Easter Thursday. Tunes
marked * are played an appropriate number of times for the relevant
dance.
Ten years on
In April 2010 the group reunited at the Manor to record Ten years on, a similar but slightly more eclectic selection of folk music, as follows:1. | The spirit of the dance and Paddy Clancy's * |
2. | My Lady Winwood's maggot * |
3. | Zephyrs and flora * |
4. | To those I love |
5. | International sequence |
6. | Scottish set |
7. | The mill |
8. | William Winter jigs * |
9. | Mrs Hamilton of Pencaitland |
10. | Welsh sequence |
11. | Top and bottom * |
12. | Thousands or more |
13. | Madeleine's wals * |
14. | Taxing time * |
15. | Pokey's reel / Smudge the dog * |
This time the group consisted of 24
musicians, most of whom also played on the first CD. TB played recorder
and/or banjo on ten of the tracks, and arranged four of them. Again,
tunes marked * are played an appropriate number of times for the
relevant dance.
To order either CD or for more information please see the Halsway Manor Society website.
