N.B. MIDI is a terrible way to learn a fiddle tune!

I learnt this tune from my dad, Tom Paley, who played it on the banjo. It's also called 'New Castle' or 'Newcastle', after the town of New Castle, Texas.

This tune appears in these collections: Brigg Fiddle Festival, 2008 · Newhaven, 2023 · Whitby 2024
