The Curly-Headed Ploughboy

On New Year's Day 2024, Abingdon Traditional Morris Dancers outside the Punchbowl in Abingdon are dancing The Curly-Headed Ploughboy. The "The Curly-Headed Ploughboy" got a wider audience in 1922 when folklorist Cecil Sharp collected it from local musician William Hemming in Abingdon. The tune gained popularity among folk enthusiasts and is a staple in pubs and festivals across the country. (ref www.efdss.org/...)
