Update:
The composer of this tune Dave Ingledew has been in tough with the folowing info: I wrote it in 1979 when requested
to record a new signature tune for the BBC Radio Solent folk program. I
composed it on a Wednesday night, hence the title.
He also added thatAs you will see (from his attached pdf) your source got the tune the wrong way round, the A music is the B music and it has morphed quite a bit from my
original intention.
I have attached Dave's original version below.
I think it was written by Dave Ingledew. There is a hint in it of the Saturday night Morris tune. Although Dave denied it when I mentioned it to him!
