This index relates to a manuscript book of country dance tunes written down by John W Moore of Tyneside, starting on June 5th, 1841. From the keys of the tunes it is thought that he was a fiddler. Nothing else is known of the man at this stage. The book is one of two, the first being a rough copy of the second. Both books are in the possesion of Paul Burgess, an English fiddler living in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England.
