Notes from The Johnsonville Collection:
Devised 27th May 2014. The Sheepskin Hey is discussed in the last dance. There were two competing versions of the dance and I have recorded one as MOGGIE AND THE FISH, and one as here. The name comes from the Viking Ball, as discussed above, and began with a group of men marching as Vikings. All were wearing sheepkin jackets over their costumes. Again, the recommended tune is “Miss Gayton’s Hornpipe”. A suitable recording is “The Sound of Harris” by Andrew Rankine and his Band.
Given to Charlotte Williams and the group at Eastbourne, the former convincing me to keep this version.
