Back to Much Wenlock (1)

MUCH WENLOCK [1]. AKA and see "Dilwyn," "Not for Joe (2)." English, Morris Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune is a fairly widespread melody used for morris dancing and was collected by Cecil Sharp from John Locke of Leominster, and published with the dance; both being called "Not for Joe". It was also collection in March, 1937 by Maud Karpeles in Baden Minton, Much Wenlock, who also identified it as "Three Jolly Sheepskins." "Much Wenlock (1)" was collected in the village of Homer, near Much Wenlock; and at the last revival (ca 1949) some of the dancers were living at Stretton Westwood and they called themselves the "Westwood Morris Men" [1]. The tune was the accompaniment to the dance Not for Joe (other tunes were also played for this dance). In the Borders region of England/Scotland the same melody accompanies a dance called Dilywn (thus giving another name to the tune).
