"Cast a Bell", also known as "Birks of Abergeldie", an English country dance in cut time and D mixolydian is a longways dance tune from the first edition of John Playford's English Dancing Master (1651). The tune and dance were retained in the long-running series throughout all editions, including the 18th and last edition of 1728, then printed by John Young in London. It was also included in Wright's Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances (a reference to dancing master Daniel Wright), printed by John Johnson in London around 1740.
It was printed in Barlow's Complete Country Dances from Playford's Dancing Master (1984) and Raven's English Country Dance Tunes (1984).
