Trip to Harrogate
First appearance of the Jackson m/s (1798 - Burton Leonard, North Yorkshire).
Recorded on Tradition TRS 027 in 1977.
Musicians were Bob Morton, Gerry Murphy, Bob Diehl and Steve Turner of ‘Canny Fettle’ with the addition of Phil Bartlett, Dave Hillary and Dave Howes.
Material from the manuscript has subsequently been published by Yorkshire Dales Workshops (1998) under the title: "Tunes, Songs & Dances from the 1798 Manuscript of Joshua Jackson North Yorkshire cornmiller and musician" ISBN: 1 897925 17 4.
A second CD of material from this manuscript, ‘The Miller’s Jig’, was recorded in 1998 by ‘Magnetic North’ to accompany the publication of the book.
One of the most fruitful of English dance manuscripts to have been uncovered.
