The Italian Set
For some reason this gets called "The Italian set". The first tune is indeed Italian, a curenta of uncertain origins remembered by Andrew from a long lost street recording. The second is Miss Sayers Allemande which can be found in the Fallibroome Collection

Greenman Rising at Bearded Theory 2009
We've played three times at the Bearded Theory Festival. In 2009 the festival was hit by bad weather. A gust of wind took down the main stage later on the same day that this video was taken. We played a set in the face the of wind and rain blowing directly into the stage … and then retreated to the tea tent. So here we are showing that the festival goers were certainly still enjoying themselves.
