Yarmouth Breakdown

An English hornpipe which can be played swung (as Percy Brown plays it) or straight (as I've heard it). I learnt this off a CD made by box-player friend Paul Scourfield who plays this after Ironlegs http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/4693. On the CD, entitled The Wayward Daughter, it is listed as an untitled trad tune. He has recently e-mailed me to say that he got the tune from a box player called Ian Dedic.
