This is on one of Blowzabella's older CDs. Not sure who wrote it.

I think the version I learned was closer to:

Composer
I think the composer was Paul James, bagpiper with Blowzabella.

Horizonto
Great tune.
Angels of the North use this for the Willowtree.
Great dance.
Thanks to John James.

Composer
Paul James composed this tune. It's from the album "Vanilla"
Does anyone have any interesting ideas for a bass rhythm?

Damn...I was to quick with the 'post' button...
Anyway, I believe that the version I just posted is the 'real thing', which is to say, as played by Blowzabella on the Vanilla album.

The copy in "New Tunes for Dancing" is slightly different again! I might ABC it one day...

Martin Clarke ~ ??? ~ any comment???
& whatever happened to the original submitter? Have they nothing to say for the tune? ~ just another 'dump and run'? It would be nice Martin if you would at least confess the origins. Where did you pick it up? Is it a favourite of yours, or do you actually hate the thing but thought you'd subject others to it? 'Comment' is welcome and appreciated!!!

Sorry Ceolachan- I got lost a bit there. Yes it is a favourite of mine, though loads of people play it in Em and this irritates me because it's much harder on the fiddle than in Dm
. I particularly like the chord sequences here, and I agree that it goes really well with the Willow Tree dance. One day I shall learn to play it on the hurdy-gurdy...
