Another tune named after a pub. In this case it’s a rather nice little place in Milton village, between Abingdon and Didcot. It happens to be the current venue for the 3rd Sunday “Mostly English” music session (which used to be held at The Cherry Tree). So it’s not too surprising that it’s the first place where I played this tune in public, hence the tune’s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

That was on Sunday 15th March 2020 and was the last pub session I went to before lock-down started. There were only three musicians present, the barmaid and, I think, one other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
