Tune of the Day: Caddam Woods
Traditional Scottish polka
This fast 2/4-time tune is very suitable for country dancing. It was probably composed by Scottish fiddler Adam Rennie, who is sometimes remembered for the 1950s radio broadcasts and recordings with his Scottish Country Dance Quartet. They played throughout Scotland and England, and on several occasions at Balmoral Castle for the royal family.
