A lot of sides, including Lagabag, use this as a 'farewell' dance - the last dance of an event, where we get as many people as possible to join in, as we do (for example) every year at the Ipswich Riverside Folk Weekend (see http://www.irfmf.org.uk/07bonnygreen.htm).

The tune also ended up being used for a song that Sophie wrote about dancing the sun up on May Day - it's available on the playlist at http://www.myspace.com/3triangle3. Sophie's dad Mike was a morris dancer, so the tune was appropriate in more ways than one.
