strathspey Archive: Looking for dance sources

Hi,

I'm looking for original instructions for the following dances:

La Fete Champetre by Barry Priddey
Southern Stars by Jeff Green
Nine Ladies Dancing by Jennifer Kelly
New Parliament Jig by ???
(is this last John Colville's New Parliament House Jig?)

Thanks to Alan's wonderful database, I know that publications I
want are:

?
Southern Stars book by Jeff Green
Performance Dancing with... by The Red Thistle Dancers
?

respectively.

Can anyone recommend a source for any or all of these, or contact
details of the devisors? Also, is there anyone who would be prepared
to provide instructions while I track these down?

Please reply privately.

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Hi Ian,

The dance by Barry Priddey is actually titled, somewhat macaronically,
"The Fete Champetre" (from a Burns verse) and is in his Golden Oriole Book.

I have the notes for this, and also for Nine Ladies Dancing, which is
published in the booklet that accompanies the video "Performance Dancing
with the Red Thistle Dancers."

Let me know what details you need - I also have "The New Parliament
House Jig" by John Colville, if that is what you're looking for. Sorry,
can't help with Southern Stars.

-Alan Twhigg.

Okay, I'll bite. What's "macaronically" mean?

From www.dictionary.com....
macaronic : involving a mixture of two or more languages

I'll send Ian instructions for Jeff's dance. (He let me have a copy of his
book, and taught the dance to my class, when he visited York last year)
