KIT WHITE'S SQUARE EIGHT. AKA - "Kit White's No. 1." Peter Kennedy, presumably during the fifties, recorded five tunes from melodeon player Kit White of Swaledale, Sussex, that were released in 1975 on the Folktracks cassette "Butter'd Pease." This one, that was used for the Square Eight, became fairly popular in England among the country dance bands and in the session scene well up into the eighties after Tufty Swift recorded in his first solo LP in 1977. Dave Townsend transcribed and published the tune in his A First Collection of English Country Dance Tunes in 1982, under the title "Kit White's Square Eight," but when he reprinted it in his English Dance Music Vol. 1 in 1993 he changed the title in "Kit White's No 1."
