\"\"<\/a>Here are two slower tunes, of a slightly lugubrious nature, that might do well for step-hop dances. <\/p>\n

The Second Wave was invented whilst on duty in Medstead & Four Marks<\/a> and Ropley signalboxes, on the Watercress Line<\/a>, 23rd & 26th Sept 2020.<\/p>\n

Maudlin Bridge is a minor-key version of Plain English (which can be found on Three Pressed Men’s album of the same name<\/a>). I’m very grateful to Corinne Henman for the idea – she sang a phrase of the tune in a minor key as we were walking over Magdalen Bridge in Oxford, one day in 2003. We were on our way to do some clothes shopping, which we both dislike. It’s an Oxford conceit to pronounce Magdalen “maudlin”.<\/p>\n
