Ron d’Eau

by Pam Bishop

When I was in the band Sabotage I became enamoured of the Rondeau dance and wrote a tune for it. The name translates as “Ron of Water” and refers to a friend called Ron who was dear to my heart.

Pam Bishop plays duet concertina and guitar, and leads the Mad Moll folk dance band. She has been influential in getting many people to participate in folk activities by organising music and song workshops and sessions, by setting up and leading the Moseley Village Band for twelve years, by organising folk dances and ceilidhs and by tutoring at concertina weekends in Witney, Swaledale and Kilve.
