There you have it (I had sent a private reply as well in order not to 
spam the list:=):

Celtic reels,

In a line of four across the dance, 2s on the outside, 1's in the middle
2M- --1L   1M- -2L

Pass RS with the person opposite, dance round each other LS in the 
centre or dance on one place on the outside in a clockwise fashion. 
Facing up and down the dance, pass RS, dance round left in the centre or 
one place on outside. Continue reeling in this way until back in the 
starting position (16 bars).

Hope this helps (although the instructions do sound rather cryptic:)
