Thx for sharing. I am working on this one on accordion right now and really enjoying it. Hope someday to play as well as you do.

Nicely played. I believe the tune was originaly called The Wheelwright's Tune, and was played very slowly, almost like a death march. It has never, to my knowledge, been played as the horn dance tune as, in its true form is too slow. Trust me I do know. very well played though.

Thanks for your comment!

Whether or not it was ever used by Abbots Bromley, I guess we'll never know for sure, but I've seen it used by Thaxted Morris Men for their interpretation of the dance.

This is the original Horn Dance tune but it is very diffucult on a melodeon and is best played on accordion.

it is not the abbots bromley tune!!!!!!

I think you'll find that this is a variation of the tune collected in 1857. If you mean that this tune is no longer used by the Abbots Bromley Horn Dancers, then your comment is correct.
