about

The first tune is sometimes known as The Moon and Seven Stars but it can be found in the 1798 manuscript collection of the Yorkshire miller and musician Joshua Jackson under the name of The Seven Stars. Peter Kennedy recorded Bert Pidgeon (melodeon) and Alfie Tuck (tambourine) playing a version of Up The Sides And Down The Middle at Punknowle in Dorset in 1950 although they played the A part in 6/8 time and the B part in 4/4 time.
