Cat's Claw Polka (O'Rourke) - Composed by Imo as the band's theme tune.
This has changed a lot from the way it was originally written... is it a polka now?
An Dro/Man in a Brown Hat (trad/Stapleton) - Actually, two An Dros stuck together, neither of which we know the name of and played in a way that Breton dancers wouldn't recognise, together with a fine tune by Cliff Stapleton from the band that started it all, Blowzabella. Jiggery Pokerwork/Raiders Road/Three Coney Walk (Spiers/Jowett/trad) - Three jigs. One by the amazing John Spiers, one by Robin Jowett of Whapweasel, and one traditional, learned from that champion of Northern English music, Brian Peters. Cuckoo's Nest/Nyth Y Gog (trad) - One Irish reel, one Welsh reel. That's the Irish Sea bridged then... sorted! Nyth Y Gog means 'Cuckoo's Nest' in Welsh. Meillionen (trad) - A beautiful Welsh tune, it translates as 'The Clover Leaf'. Will's Way/Peeping Tom/Witchmen (Ward/Peeping/Shepherd) - One tune learned from The Committee Band, another half remembered from a Peeping Tom gig so we don't know if it's theirs, and one absorbed as the eponymous tune of the wild Witchmen Morris side at Upton Festival. We eventually found that it's called 'William Taylor's Table Top Hornpipe' and by Dave Shepherd, but we prefer 'Witchmen' as a title! Sorry, Dave... |
