Dig (cassette)

Dig went "out of print" earlier than any of our other product, even the Folk Pistols cassettes, and hasn't been available for years. Even Tony and Charlie don't know some of these - well Tony didn't 'til he re-recorded Dig for us on an Anthology CD "box set" for our 1999 Christmas presents! This is the album most similar to Barndancing in its structure (several sets are suitable for barn dancing).
1 Johnny's Down The River / Sugar In My Coffee-O
2 Crow Black Chicken A prototype version of "I Like Chicken Pie".
3 (The) Trout Sisters One of the Prof's. When these details were first put on I said "I can't remember when we last played this one". I can now. We resurrected it at the Grand Ceilidh Club in January 2000. I don't know when we'll play this one again!
4 Two-Step De Bayou Têche
5 Vandals of Hammerwich
6 (There's) No Hell In Georgia / Rattler Treed A Possum This one's always been enormously popular with us and we use it as the last dance of the "first half". Perhaps it's popular because the food always seems to arrive when we play it.

8 Seneca Square Dance / Un, Deux, Trois
9 Saturday Night Waltz
10 Going Down The River
11 I'm Gonna Leave Old Arkansas / (Where The) Irish Potatoes (Grow)
