The last 8 bars of the reel are quite demanding. On video 1 the team substituted the following:  
25-28: dancing couple (original couple 2) set diagonally to each other and cast (pulling back right shoulder) one place (to second place opposite side) while couples 1 and 3 turn once (instead of 1 1/2 times) finishing on their opposite side [(1)(2)(3)]  
29-32: all circle half way 6 hands round to the left to finish [321]. This means the the dance finishes 321, whereas the original instructions have the dancers finishing 123.  

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.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
