Deifio - Kizzy Crawford

Tom Mellin's is a 3/2 hornpipe from Thomas Marsden's "A Collection of Lancashire Hornpipes Old and New" published in 1705. This is one of those tunes for me that, like Jack the Horse-Courser, takes a simple but brilliant musical idea and gets it just right, with no padding. It also leaves plenty of space for musicians to explore, interpret and improvise.

This kind of hornpipe has a particular association with Lancashire. I can also imagine dancers working themselves into mesmeric states, transported by the repeating motifs and henbane beer.

The Staffordshire Hornpipe was collected in 1909 by Cecil Sharp from the gypsy fiddler John Locke. Here is the original tune he wrote down: https://www.vwml.org/search?q=John%20Locke%20Sharp&is=1

In the picture we have a Staffordshire oatcake (recipe here for those who are interested: https://www.food.com/recipe/staffordshire-oatcakes-traditional-english-hotcakes-pancakes-421079).

Also, pottery kilns - a very famous sight in Staffordshire. At the back is the impressive opening of Thor's Cave, a dramatic geographical formation in the Staffordshire countryside.
