September 2023 – New Ealing Sessions

Y Crythor Llon

Here’s another Welsh tune to go with Cariad-Gan Y Sguthan, Y Crythor Llon or The Merry Fiddler. We’ll look into some alternative chords another week!

Here are the video, dots and PDF:

A lovely Welsh jig which dates back to the late 1800s, Cariad-Gan Y Sguthan translates as The Love Song of the Wood Pigeon. I learned it from the fantastic Calan tune book. Here are the dots with chords and the accompanying pattern in the A section, the download and the video.

Term dates

Term dates are now live on newealingsessions.com/term-dates-and-events-2/

We’ll start up next week, starting with some new tunes before revisiting some old favourites and using them to make simple arrangements for the Ealing Country Dance Club night. More complex arrangements will happen for the Xmas concert at Gunnersbury, date tbc.

Class fees will go up a small amount with the usual concessions for termly and annual subscriptions, and the room fees (which have risen considerably over the last two years) will also go up – we’ll have a chat over how everyone wants to divide those through the year.
