So the rollicking Irishman is pretty much the same tune as father o Flynn so not worth using. Quite like Irish whiskey (in G) so will use that. (Just to check versions, I found it on http://tunearch.org/wiki/Irish_Whiskey_(1) )

I'll probably just play those three.

Thanks everyone for your comments so far. I've had another look at the write-up, made some changes, and some new comments. See attached for the reviewed version as edited by both me and Katherine. 

Unfortunately this second look has made me notice a few new things:

1. Nikki this will affect you - unfortunately the music from Sword Dance Airs III was actually chosen by Cecil Sharp, and they were not traditional to the dance. This means that we can't use Thro the lang moor or Warkworth Castle. I'm so sorry Nikki for not spotting this earlier. Please refer to the notes for alternatives.

2. The stepping - Please see notes on stepping in the write-up, and please see attachment for Grenoside stepping notation. If anyone can make any sense of it, let me know. If anything, it looks like they are double stepping...

3. I'm changing my mind about the Tommy and Betty issue. Please see write-up for reasons.

And does anyone know what circle guard is???

I'm soooooooooooo knackered. I feel quite ill. If I come tonight, I think I will need to leave early. I'll let you know.

Laura
