A tune I feel never gets played enough, the Fool's Jig hails from the Morris tradition of Bampton, and can be seen danced by 'the Fool' at dance outs around the world. The fool - throughout history - was regarded as the best dancer within the side, and would perform jigs such as this to showcase their skills. This particular version is based upon the writings found in Lionel Bacon's infamous 'Black Book', titled 'A Handbook of Morris Dances' published by the Morris Ring, however rhythmic influences come from the great players, in particular William 'Jinky' Wells. There are also many similarities with another fantastic Bampton tune, titled 'The Morris Reel', which I may get round to posting one day! Here it is played in C on a Vintage Castagnari Handry 12 C/F/Acc in Clubbed tuning, generously loaned by Norm Warren. ------ Website: https://www.jackhogsdenmusic.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jackhogsdenm...

Jack Hogsden at The Bridge Folk Club, 27 September 2021 Jack Hall (Trad) This is from the singing of Jack’s uncle, Karl Hogsden, and friends in North Yorkshire When Jack Hall was a child his parents sold him into indenture as a climbing boy with a chimney sweep and that was his first legitimate job but he became a burglar as he grew older. After a series of raids in 1707 he was caught and sentenced to death, along with two accomplices. They were duly hanged at Tyburn in London on 17 December 1707 The tune and word patterns are similar to Captain Kidd, Admiral Benbow, and Ye Jacobites By Name Jack’s website is https://www.jackhogsdenmusic.com/ and he is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jack.hogsden

Due to a technical fault the camera cut out mid way through the Jig, once a complete video of the jig is on YouTube it'll be put in the description *The side performing in the video might not be the originators of the dance. If teaching the dance please research who the originators of the dance are and credit them where credit is due.
