Jimmie Rogers' article on The Lancers in the RSCDS Bulletin for 2003
mentioned the upcoming publication of a book by Ellis Rogers called The
Quadrille: A Practical Guide to Its Origin, Development, and Performance." I
would think the book would be out by now, but I haven't found any mention of
it through a web search or the British Library catalogue. Does anyone happen
to know anything about it?

Ellis' book "The Quadrille" is now out. It's nearly 300 pages plus
appendices of information on quadrilles and their history. The ISBN number
is 0-9546344-0-3. You can also find Ellis' contact details on the quadrille
page of our website at www.greengingerband.co.uk.  

You may be interested to know that Keith Smith and Green Ginger are soon to
release a CD which contains a combination of music for historical quadrilles
(Hart's Lancers of 1819,  Paine's 1st and 12th sets, 2 historical waltzes)
and several Scottish dances with quadrille figures (Clutha, New Scotia
Quadrille, Quadrille Country Dance, The Queen's Quadrille and The Jubilee
Quadrille).

There is also "Five Basic Quadriilles - three French and Two Scottish Quadrilles
of the early 19th Century" by Ellis Rogers (published 2002), which includes
an "Introduction [to quadrilles] for Scottish Country Dancers"  by Jimmie
Hill. I don't know if this material is also included in the book mentioned
in Meryl's email below.

Many thanks, Meryl and Susi. I'll watch out for the CD. I'm sure Marie at
TACSound will carry it.

Hi Meryl, I didn't know you were lurking on the Strathspey List!
Green Ginger have some fans here and I'm sure your musical
(and other) input will be very welcome.
