Notes from The Johnsonville Collection: Devised 29th March 2014. The dance is a teaching dance for grand chain. The name comes from a tribute to the highly energetic 2013 beginners who organized themselves to have a “bunting bee” to produce tartan bunting for our hosting of the region’s “New Dancers’ Celebration” in late 2013. Recommended music is “Callum’s Road” by D. Shaw played ABAB, and a set of suitable tunes can be found for the track “Moranbank”, which is track 9 of the CD “A’ the Best from Banffshire” by Colin Dewar and his Band. This dance could also be performed as a reel. In this case I would suggest the tune “Walking on the Moon” by Addie Harper, and an excellent set or reels with this as part is by Bobby Brown and his Band, “Celtic Fire in the Music” CD 1, track 9.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
