Newcastle Waites

Tunes for the Pipe & Bowl Morris and Newcastle Country Dancers

Pigopolskan

This is a very fun and very pretty polska. The recording is Emelie Waldken. She starts slow, teaches it, and then plays it up to speed. The dots come from Aryeh Frankfurter, plus I added some sharps to make it match the way Emelie plays it.

Battered Hake

A tune by way of a UK fb tuesday tune group. According  to Chava who has gone native over in Wales it means Battered cod pieces.

It is a fun tune which could precede or follow many a tune. It could go before Bonny Cate for example.

Here is multi instrument version.

The Lounge Bar

Was hipped to this slow jig by Kevin Cloud.  It was composed by Annlaug Børsheim, a Norwegian folk musician (Hardanger fiddle, guitar, voice).

Polska från Hälleforsnäs

This transcription is Malaika's. There are lots of recordings of this on youtube. I liked this one because of the low whistle.
