strathspey Archive: New Dance - The Blethering Ghillie

Hi, All,

The Blethering Ghillie is a 32-bar strathspey for three couples, named after the pub in my house which has been the scene of much blethering since we opened it in 2004. I felt like it deserved its own dance. You can check out the dance on Eight By Thirty-Two at:

hi Lee
your instructions are clear and I will try it soon with my group.
just one thing, I suppose we are supposed to read "on bars 31 and 32, 1st C turn
..." instead of "on bars 23 and 24, 1st C turn ..."

scots Bonnet Brittany, france

25-32 1st couple dance figures of eight on their own sides in six bars,
beginning by giving right shoulder to the person on their right, finishing with
1st woman between 2nd couple facing down and 1st man between 3rd couple facing
up. On bars 23 and 24, 1st couple turn with left hands ¾ to finish in 2nd place
on own sides, ready to begin again.

Ooops! Yes, indeed, that should be bars 31 and 32. Poor proofreading on my part!
