Title: A Question for Simon (or anyone else who knows the answer) Post by: Rory. on April 13, 2007, 08:44:02 PM Hi Simon, A friend of mine went to see Martin Carthy play at her local club in Lewes last night, and she said he played an instrumental called "Tomorrow Shall be my Dancing Day." the arrangement to which Mr Carthy attributed to you, I will quote what she said
"I've loved that carol for a long time, but I'd never thought of it outside of the context of the King's College Choristers. I asked Martin about it, and he said that he got it off Simon Nicol, who had arranged it for a morris side (I forget which ). Apparently Simon did two arrangements: the 4/4 one which Martin played, and a jig. Now, that would be worth hearing" She asked me to ask here if the jig has been recorded, and which side were the arrangements done for? Any hint/tips gratefully received. Thanks, Rory Title: Re: A Question for Simon (or anyone else who knows the answer) Post by: Keith on April 13, 2007, 09:36:48 PM I don't see any info on the jig itself, but there is a link as Cathy LeSurf sung it on A Christmas Present From The Albion Band which, of course, Simon now plays with at Christmas.

I never recorded it (as far as I recall) and the Morris side would have undoubtedly been (surprise, surprise) The Albion Morris.
