Woodcock

I noted that someone posted the details for Hammy Hamilton's recording "Moneymusk". Well he wrote the two jigs on that album, Woodcock and Kerfunten and I note that The Session has the music for the Kerfunten but not Woodcock. SO I have rectified that. Please note that Deanta also have a really nice recording of these two jigs together on one of their albums. They do make a nice set together.
Enjoy.
