GB/7d/31a Winlaton Sword Dance Tunes 1 of 2: Song
GB/7d/31b Winlaton Sword Dance Tune 2 of 2: Jig Tune
Notes on GB/7d/31b This is a rapper dance. See [1] for a performance of this dance in 1920; the musician and the dancers were probably the same individuals that Butterworth wwitnessed ande notated from. This footage illustrates just how hard rapper tunes are to notate without recording equipment.
