I am from Lancashire and I used to be a clog dancer when I was 7 years - 9 years old! Brings back memories. It's very like this.

Fantastic, great dancer, fine fiddle player. Clog dancing is still an important tradition and part of the culture of Lancashire, dating back to the coal miners and cotton mill workers, great to see it active in USA, many thanks to you, Congratulations and Greetings, from Lancashire, the Red Rose County.

@bearshitwoods You have clearly never seen the Fosbrooks preform (and that's been going for 30years)

I think the 3rd tune is the Boys of Bluehill - sounds like all tunes are hornpipes.
