Shepherds Hey Adderbury

Moulton Morris Men at London Covent Garden Market St Georges Day Festival, 19 Apr 2008, dancing Shepherds Hey from Adderbury in Oxfordshire. No sticks & no hankies involved in this dance and we guarentee no parts of their arms will part from their bodies during the course of the dance

I'd never listened to it before, but had a little hark at the prog on Radio4 Extra. The theme tune is basically the same one as we played in our video (ie the version collected in Adderbury , Oxon), albeit speeded up a bit from morris dance pace. A very similar version was used in many Cotswold villages, with an odd note changed here or there to suit a fiddle or a whistle.
They're all derived, I think , from Baa Baa Black Sheep (or maybe it was the other way round?).

Great song and dance...but I could not help but to smile and think of the dance scene in Germany on "National Lampoon's European Vacation" movie...

Happy Saint Georges day.

Thought you might be interested in my little tribute to Adderbury concerning the lakes. Always look forward to "Day Of Dance"-Good Luck to one and all.

Hi! You should be able to download it to your PC while working in Windows Explorer, through the basic version of Real Player which is available free as a download if you haven't got it. Just right click the image while the video is playing and you get a drop down menu, the last option being "download to Real Player". It then goes to your RealPlayer Library and you should be able to lift the file from there onto a USP stick or similar. Message me if stuck!
