Dance devised for Kathy Reid.

Kathy's parents live in County Mayo in the West of Ireland so needless to say Kathy does a bit of tin-whistlin', and most of her practice is done in the kitchen while waiting for the kettle or some cooking utensil to boil. In the last 8 bars of the dance I have tried to portray the steam coming from the kettle as it comes to the boil (I have a keen imagination!)

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.

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.
