Maybe a bit corny but I've liked Cluck Old Hen since I first heard it when Bert Jansch recorded a guitar vesion in the 1970s.

Just a quick recording for the Christmas Clawhammer Forum. My favourite carol. There are some lovely words by the poetess Christina Rosetti.

Recorded on my 'I Phone'. I think that this tune to a popular sea song works quite well as jig.

I posted 2 tabs for this last week and I've tried to include most of the same musical ideas in this MP3. The tune is a hornpipe from West Sussex.

I have tried Squirrel Hunters in a few different tunings and have struggled with understanding the chord structure. There is some discussion of this in Tune of The Week archive so it seems that I’m not alone. There don’t seem to be many clawhammer versions of the tune on the net but Ike Lajoie’s version in the BH archive is terrific. I settled on Sandy River Belle tuning but up a tone as I play a short scale ladies’ banjo. It does fall quite easily to the fingers. I have also posted a basic tab.

This dance tune was collected in the 1970s from George Craske who was a melodeon player and lived for most of his life in the tiny village of Sustead just a few miles from where we live in North Norfolk. I have arranged it in a 'Double D' tuning.
