As played by Tan Ha Dowr 2000
Based on an old dance tune communicated to Ralph Dunstan January 1930 by Captain Collett of Perranporth. Played by Tan Ha Dowr as recording project to capture the sounds and rhythms of Cornish dance. The project featured Cornish Scoot (step) dance where the percussive sound of hard shoes creates a conversation with musician and tune.
