Dance devised by Ruth MacInnes and Peter Jamieson to mark the occasion of Frank Stephen’s 70th birthday, celebrated on 2nd August 2019 with a dance at Munlochy Hall. Music selected by Joy Bisset. Notes: bars 9-24 are essentially modified Mairi’s wedding reels, with the 1s starting slightly advanced and then dancing a similar path to that danced in Australian Ladies. Corners must clear the centre of the dance promptly to allow this, so twirls and hand pats are not recommended.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (3). 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.
