BLACK AND GREY [1]. AKA and see "A Trip to Kilburn." English, Country Dance Tune (cut time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was first printed in John Playford's Dancing Master 7th edition (London, 1786) and was retained in all subsequent editions of the long-running series, through the 18th, printed in 1728. It also appears in John Walsh's Compleat Country Dancing Master, editions of 1718, 1731 and 1754 (London), and Johnson's Wright's Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances, vol. 2 (London, 1742). "Black and Grey" appears in the 1790 music manuscript collection of Cheapside, London, musician Thomas Hammersley. Sara Johnson (1997) remarks the alternate title "Trip to Kilburn" is in common use today for the melody, "from its use as a dance." Not the Northumbrian "Black and the Grey".
