Writing as one who was (briefly) official club musician to Earlsdon, the dance may be correct, but the tune is not. Either the current musicians don't know the tune, or they have ignored it for reasons best known to themselves. When I was musician in the late 70s, the whole club knew the tune and could sing it. BTW, whatever happened to dances done with slings? I always thought them far more impressive than little sticks.
Always a pleasure 👍
I fully agree with that.
