They performed together as Fiddlin' John Carson and Moonshine Kate. N:However, it's impossible to find a recording of him playing this tune and N:that's because it was written by Chris Haigh in London, England and published in his N:book "Fiddling Around the World" 2001, ISBN-13 : 979-0579996002. He has also taught N:it at fiddle workshops, hence its popularity in sessions here in the UK.
