BUGBEE'S HOLE. AKA and see "The Beadle of Grubb St." English, Country Dance Tune (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was first published in London in 1726 by John Young in the Dancing Master, vol. 3, 2nd edition (p. 121) under the title "Bugbee's Hole". "The Beadle of Grubb Street" was given as an alternate title. It apparently does not appear in any other period publications. Bugbee's Hole was a location on the Thames between Woolwich and Greenwich, albeit more commonly spelled 'Bugby's'. It was an embarkation point for London shipping, and a place where hanged pirates were displayed in chains,
