This
dance
was
devised
for
Andy
and
Gillean
Lippok
who
were
keen
members
of
St.
John's
Scottish
Dancing
Club
in
Wokingham
and
moved
to
Dublin
in
the
summer
of
1996
(the
year
that
Andy
had
been
chairman
of
the
Club),
hence the Celtic Crossing.
Bill writes:
What
can
I
say
about
the
lovely
Gillean
-
she
hails
from
Inverness,
and
lets
me
know
if
she
approves
of
my
dances. Mary Sutherland thought up the appropriate name.
The
tune
set
played
by
Nicol
McLaren
includes
Sweet
Biddy
Daly,
Roaring
Jelly,
The
Rakes
o’
Kildare,
Shandon
Bells and The Idle Road.
