Mally's North West Morris Book – Accompaniment CD by Dave Mallinson

The audio companion to Mally's North West Morris Book, this CD features a collection of traditional tunes from the book, played by Dave Mallinson.

North West morris differs from the Cotswold traditions in that individual tunes are not necessarily tied to particular dances. Instead, musicians can choose suitable tunes to fit the dance, with straightforward country dance melodies providing much of the repertoire. Hearing the tunes played provides a useful way to become familiar with their melodies, rhythm and traditional character.

Designed to accompany the Mally's North West Morris Book collection, the recordings are particularly useful for musicians learning to play for morris dancing, developing their repertoire or learning traditional music by ear. The CD can also be enjoyed independently as a varied collection of traditional English dance tunes.
