A
Collection of Music from
Saddleworth
The Wrapper Band perform traditional
English dance music, mainly from the North West (Manchester, Cheshire,
Lancashire) with some Yorkshire, Shropshire, Scottish and American thrown
in for variety. The band has appeared on TV, at the Beverley Folk Festival,
and also appears at premier dance venues such as Poynton, WiggInce,
Mythenroyd.
This site has, information on Traditional Composers and Collectors, articles on the Double or 3/2 Hornpipe, and various midi and gif versions of tunes. We have also written a program which can be used to search for the origin or source book for tunes, which is shareware, but is available for free download. There is also links to interesting Traditional Dance music information and more general Saddleworth/North West resourses.
