Polly’s House

by Pam Bishop

Dance bands are often asked to play for a dance called Swedish Masquerade. There is a tune called Swedish Masquerade, but I thought I would write another one. This is the result – it’s named after a playhouse that my daughter was building while I wrote the tune.

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.
