Devised by Pat Davoll, in 2007, in memory of Lizzie Vasey, who danced regularly with the East Grinstead Scottish Dance Club and Oxford University Scottish Dance Society. Lamp black is a fine black powder used in pest control, where Lizzie used to work. When she used it, Lizzie would invariably end up covered in it; hence her nickname of “Lamp Black Lizzie”.
