LOVELY DAY for 'Knob - Cracking'

Hook Eagle Border Morris demonstrate the art of Knob-Cracking ( yes! that really is what it's called) Filmed at the Rochester 'Sweeps' Festivals of 2006 & 2007
The tune has a number of names but Ashley Hutchings (founder of Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span & The Albion Band) calls it Ricketts Hornpipe (or so I am informed). Better not try this at home!
