The Scythe, Sickle and Spade Jig (alternatively known as 'Rural Rides')

Played by Lucy Alessio, recorded by Gavin Langley. Written by me.

The Scythe, Sickle and Spade Jig, in honour and celebration of the hard pressed early eighteenth century agricultural labourers celebrated and defended in Cobbett's Rural Rides, and detailed EP Thompson's 'The Making of the English Working Class.'
