I seem to remember dancing Drive the Cold Winter Away based on the version  
from the New World Renaissance Band.  I don't remember any changes we made  
to make the dance fit the music or vica versa.

Drive  the Cold Winter Away is one of my favorite songs. :) Listening to  
the
Medieval Babes version posted, I think you'd have trouble doing  the
Playford dance to it - although I can hear where the melodies are  related,
it isn't the exact same tune or repeat structure. Still, you might  be able
to make the music and dance work together. ECD is often easy to  dance to
other tunes as long as you have the right rhythm.
