From 1959 to 1972 Pat Shaw led a monthly English Country dance event at Cecil Sharp House entitled “Another Look at Playford” to study and dance some of the dances, first published by John Playford, in the “The English Dancing Master” Volume I in 1651, through its eighteen editions, and the two further Volumes up to 1728. He also included some of the dances of that period which Cecil J. Sharp had published in “The Country Dance Book” Part II (1911), Part III (1912), Part IV (1916) with George Butterworth and Part VI (1922).
