Jimmy was a farrier who fixed machinery not just horse shoes. I played fiddle with him on one or two occasions in the snug at the Bird in Bush in Elsdon. He was a neighbour of Ned Pearson, the fiddler, who I remember coming out to play the Morpeth Rant at his garden gate when the Monkseaton Mor

Just in case anyone might think I'm the clever so-and-so who came up with those complex jig patterns quoted in a previous submission, I have to say I lifted them from Stewart Hardy's book "Secrets of Jigs" ([1]mu...@kirkhousepublishing.com) an excellent publication with highly detai

Sorry, this should be "shay grice" and indeed Dave should have used an acute accent on the "e" in both words - schéi gréiss. It's Luxembourgish for ­­- literally - "beautiful greetings", corresponding to the German "schöne Grüsse". Yes, the dots and strokes do matter for the correct pronunciatio
