"The Prince Regent's favourite tune, I'll gang no more to yon town, was correctly and spiritedly played by Mr Gow's band. Miss Tylney Long led off the dance with Mr Crawfurd [...] The dance was so highly approved of, that the musicians continued playing it for no less a time than two hours and a half."
