Autumn by The Pigeon Swing

For a considerable part of our lives, we have, in numerous bands, played, for ceilidhs and barn dances, a selection of tunes based on the repertoires of English and Irish traditional musicians. In the mid ‘80s there came an interest in French-Canadian dance music, brought on, I am sure, by the clips featured in the Channel 4 documentary series Down Home, hosted by Aly Bain. Our repertoire is based on that of French-Canadian traditional musicians recorded from the 1920s onwards. We have thus a whole new selection of tunes which fits well into the world of English ceilidh.
