Devised by John Drewry for London Branch’s Golden Jubilee and published in “The Reel” No.150 November 1979.
There is a recording by The Frank Reid Scottish Dance Band on the London 75th Anniversary CD. John Drewry had
changeable views on whether to have two chords at the start of a dance where couples needed to begin on
opposite sides. For this dance he chose only one chord.
