Original publications?

I have just finished putting together a dance programme (for which I
unashamedly confess to have been motivated by my own personal
favourites) and, as a result, I realise that there a number of dances
for which I do not have the original instructions.

So, can anyone point me towards a publication containing any of the
following dances:

Roaring Jelly (Hugh Foss)
Luckenbooth Brooch (John Bowie Dickson)
Cape Spear (Bruce & Jo Shawyer)
Belfast Hornpipe (Wes Clindinning)

Dear Alan:

Well done for wanting the original instructions for the dances on your 
programme.  

Roaring Jelly (number 6) and Luckenbooth Brooch (number 28) are both 
Glendarroch Sheets.  I do not personally have sources for the other two 
dances you mention.

You should be able to get the Glendarroch sheets from TACBooks, run by TAC 
(Teachers Association of Canada, as you probably know).  They may also be 
able to help you with Cape Spear and Belfast Hornpipe.

The contact people at present for TAC Books are John and Shirley Lanktree:

                   xxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xx

I know they are hoping to retire, but as far as I know there is no 
replacement appointed yet.  They are extremely helpful and efficient and 
quite honestly I have found this service far superior than any other.

You might also want to consider joining TAC as they provide excellent support 
services, such as leaflets, books recordings and manuals, for teachers around 
the world and their quarterly magazine is interesting as well. 

If you wish to join the Membership Secretary is June Shore:

                   xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx

Best wishes

Susan Carr (we met at Summer School as New Hall residents.  Will you be going 
this year?)

Cape Spear will be published in one of our upcoming publications (shamless
plug!).  The books will probably not be ready until the fall but I will
announce their availability and contents when the time comes.

Thanks to all those who replied to me with information about publishing
books and apologies for not yet getting round to more personal notes.
