about

The air is the tune known among other names as 'Dives and Lazarus'; the slip jig is 'The Butterfly'.

This is included because when Pete Wilkes and I used to gig together, we used to go into this medley at the end of 'The Weekends'. It's badly recorded, but it has a certain energy that I haven't managed to recapture in a more recent recording.
