Every ceilidh band I've been in has played this, since we're from Morpeth - and although this is fabby, it sounds SO much better quickly

Sorry, are you saying that she's playing it too quickly? Isn't it a rant step tune?

Thanks for posting this. I am actually learning this from a tunebook without having heard it before. Being a country player I was playing it too much like a bluegrass tune.

It sounds way better the way you play it.

Great performance!

Thanks ... it IS a tune for a rant step ... and Morpeth is an English town .... Cathy makes a pretty good job of it for a 14 year old :)

i can play this:D not as well though haha xxx

[nytram1309]

Oh ... it's only practice and listening! A secret though ... this was the tune which Cathy spent a whole workshop on with Gina Le Faux ... and for a while it was her firm favourite!

Me and some friends have just started a folk group at my Uni as it is sadly lacking one, this is the first tune we have started doing and I love it! This is such a beautiful version of it as well!

Love this tune and have been looking for it...Did you notice the b part is very similar to the b part of St. Ann's Reel?
