The Downfall of Paris

[trad. arr. Eliza Carthy & Nancy Kerr]

Eliza Carthy and Nancy Kerr played The Downfall of Paris in 1995 on their second album, Shape of Scrape. Eliza Carthy commented in the sleeve notes:

The Downfall of Paris comes from two sources: the first being the Sussex Tune Book, where it is called The Fall of Paris, and has only one part; the second being an old recording of two old fiddle players my mum gave me.
