LADS DANCE, THE. AKA and see "Lads of Duns." English, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune appears under this title in old collections from North West England, and is a version (both melody and title) of the Scottish tune "Lads of Duns/Dunse." The tune appears to have been fairly wide-spread in northern England; one version of the tune is contained in the 19th century Joseph Kershaw Manuscript. Kershaw was a fiddle player who lived in the remote area of Slackcote, Saddleworth, Manchester, North West England, who compiled his manuscript from 1820 onwards.
