Hi Everyone,
Here are the tunes for the Pill rehearsal on Friday October 11th from 7.00pm ‘til 9.00pm,
and the gig at Stoke Gifford Retirement Village on Saturday 12th October from 4.00
‘til 6.00pm.
The programme is roughly the same as the Portishead one would have been , but without
Briggy ( unless he would like to come and dance freely when the mood suits!- which
would be great), and extra tunes,  as there will be much fewer words.
They have asked for some dancing, so I have also added the tunes for dancing.
There will be some spoken introductions to the tunes, unless we are just background
music, and then we’ll “play it by ear”!
      First Half
1. Curly Headed Ploughboy( x3 1/2 ) intro boxes
2. Abbots Bromley Horn Dance ( x3) intro chords
3. Oats and Beans ( x4) intro fiddles
4. A Farmer’s Boy ( if singers)
5. Cyder and Perry (x3) intro boxes
6. Stingo  (x4) intro chords
7. Lovely Mellow Tipsiness (x3) intro chords finger picking
8. Da Smugglers (x5) intro fiddles

10. Thrashing the Oats ( x4) intro fiddles – for dance, Pat-a-cake Polka
               INTERVAL
      Second Half

2. Long Ashton Scottishe (x4) intro fiddles
3. Rogues March (x4) intro percussion

      For dances-
9. Blaydon Races (x3) intro fiddles and straight into
10. Hogmanay Jig (x3).
         And just in case no-one wants to dance!……
Spare tunes- All in a Garden Green (x4) intro fiddles
                          Fred Pigeon’s March (x3) intro chords and basses
                           Enrich (x3) intro accordions and melodeon

Rather a lot of tunes to practice,I’m afraid, but as there will be no stories, poems etc,
and it may only be background music, I thought it would be best to “be prepared “!
See you all on Friday, and/ or Saturday.
Cheers
Heather M 😊🎶🤞
