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

I love this tune. It's quite irregular but it doesn't sound irregular, it just works. What a fully joyous melody. And what a great name for a tune, eh?

Notice: no repeats in the A part, that's not a mistake.

This tune appears in this collection: Lewes 2026
