Cornish Quickstep, as played at Newquay Session 2021
Cornish Quickstep as played at Gwerthji Koffi Keltek Session, Newquay
The above follows the playing of Ray Delf of Cam Kernewek who in turn learned it from Charlie Bate and Bob Cann. It has just two parts. When Ralph Dunstan included it in his 1929 Lyver Canow Kernewek – Cornish Song Book he arranged it with 3 parts. He suggested that it was probably an American tune “brought home and adopted”.
