The Welsh folk dance is "Jac y Do" (the Jackdaw) which is also the title of the first tune, and has an uncanny resemblance to the The Grand Old Duke of York.
The venue was a the Temple of Peace in Cardiff Civic Centre, with a beautiful Art Deco interior.
We played as a three piece band with Heulwen on fiddle, Lorna on accordion and Peter on guitar, with Alun calling the dance steps.

Chloe Stephens it’s the lyrics for the song which, in English, are : I saw a jackdaw Sitting on a roof top A white hat on his head And two wooden legs Ho ho ho ho ho ho!

This is remarkably similar to line dancing in America. Makes me wonder if this is were we got it.

Surely that IS the grand old Duke of York? Did that primary 3 in Scotland. And the second tune is similar to the Palais Glide. The third tune also seems familiar. Can't quite place it.

All these songs come from a time when everyone used the same tune but changed the words. Have you noticed that most children’s nursery rhymes use the same tune. ABCD’s, baa baa black sheep, twinkle twinkle little star?
