This tune is used for the dance Geud Man of Ballingigh. Most often played in A, though also nice in G.
This is a French Canadian tune often used for easy dances.
Some polkas from East Anglia.

This is from Christopher (melodion player & caller at the last dance). He sent me this video:
and I sent him this asking if it was the notation. He replied with:
"That's it, Kevin,
The first eight bars need to be repeated to fit the dance, otherwise it is very close to what I play. I add a C after the D in the first and fifth bars and a D after the B in the second, fourth, and sixth bars. I play it in 6/8 as a jig."
Which led to this(which was sent to him for vetting):
From Brass Monkey. This is the version with an 8 bar B section. There is is also a version with a 12 bar B , which doesn't work for common dances requiring equal length A & B Parts.
This is the music for the recent(as in last 40 years) dance Ashford Anniversary. The tune is called Ungareska.
