This book consists of three dances that are unusual in some way:-

 

1.       The Bride’s Favourite – (Jig x 32) – uses the tune of the same name on a record “Below the Salt” by SteeleyeSpan.

 

2.     The Bodhran Drum – (Reel x 32) – uses the song “Wha Wadna Fecht For Charlie” on a record called “The Very Best of the Corries”.  This consists of the drum and the Corries singing only.

 

3.     The Improviser (Jig x 32) – asks each couple on bars 25 to 32 to improvise ie. decide what they are going to do as they do bars 1 to 24 and call it out to the rest of the set before bar 24!!!  No repeats allowed.

 

The cost is NZ$ 5,  NZ$7 posted,  NZ$9 posted overseas.
