The Witch Twists the Pins

MRS. SAVAGE'S WHIM is an English Country Dance Tune (3/2 time).  The tune (a triple hornpipe or jig) dates to 1710 when it was published by John Young in the first and second editions of the Second Volume of The Dancing Master. 

It has been suggested the title might refer to one of the "noteworthy and notorious women" of the Savage family, possibly Elizabeth Savage, daughter of the 4th Earl Rivers. She eloped with James Barry, 4th Earl Barrymore in 1706, an escapade for which her father never forgave her. When he died in 1712 she found she had been left out of his will, which Barrymore contested with partial success. Elizabeth did not live long to enjoy the inheritance, however, as she died in 1714. - Fiddler's Companion

Mrs Savage's Whim

Centuries old folk tunes meet modern sounds.......

Paul & Dan Baldwin take centuries old folk tunes and mix them with modern synth sounds. Most of the tunes come from traditional sources - Playford's Dancing Master being particularly inspirational. Dan also works on his own synth based music, and Paul plays with the instrumental folk trio Over The Yardarm. 

There will be more We Come From Mars music later in the year. 

Always happy to talk!
