As
our
stock
has
grown,
a
reorganisation
of
this
area
has
become
necessary
and
this
front
page
will
show
information
about
recent
additions
and
special
offers,
with
further
details
to
be
found
in
one
of
two
new
sections:
CDs, and their corresponding Dance Books if available
Go

for
The
Sunday
Class
CDs
and/or
their
Dance
Books,
collections
from
Belfast,
Leeds,
Sheffield,
Stirling,
Banffshire,
Dunfermline,
Newcastle,
Nova
Scotia
RSCDS
Branches
etc.
-
most
of
these
offer
a
reduced
price
to
buy
the
set
-
and
also
in
this
section
will
be
all
the
stocked
‘individual’
CDs,
including
all
available
Marian
Anderson’s
recordings,
Scotch
Mist,
The
Chris Dewhurst Band, Ian Robertson, plus many others.
Dance Books
In
this
section
are
details
of
the
growing
number
of
Dance
Books
available,
for
which
there
is
no
specified
CD,
for
instance
all
9
of
Francis
Walduck’s
books,
including
the
last
3
produced
by
Queensland Branch of his previously unpublished 40+ dances.
From
both
sections
you
will
arrive
at
the
familiar
shop
‘counter’
with
its
sporrans
waiting
to
be
filled,
so
you will still be able to do all your shopping in one place, there will just be less detailed information there.
Welcome to The Sunday Class Shop
From
the
first
days
of
the
pandemic
in
2020,
Ewan
Galloway
played
“live”
on
Facebook,
and
9pm
on
Friday
evening
was
the
start
time
of
Friday
Fun
Night,
which
evolved
over
time
to
become
The
Stagger
Inn,
a
virtual
pub with over 350 regulars from all corners of the globe.
This
Book
of
12
Dances
has
been
created
by
9
devisers,
with
original
music
from
11
renowned
musicians
(all
Stagger
Inn
regulars),
and
is
accompanied
by
the
CD
which Ewan has recorded in the pub itself!
Newcastle upon Tyne & District RSCDS 70th Anniversary 1950 - 2020
16 Dances by Sheila Trafford with CD by Marian Anderson & Iain MacPhail & their Bands
With
publication
(and
all
celebrating!)
delayed
for
2
years
by
the
pandemic,
this
long-anticipated
project
offers
a
complete
range
of
dances,
both
in
terms
of
tempo
and
standard,
with
much
for
musicians too - there is sheet music for all the original tunes, by at least 7 well-known musicians.
There
are
8
tracks
each
by
Marian
Anderson’s
Scottish
Dance
Band
and
Iain
MacPhail
&
his
Scottish
Dance Band mixed throughout the CD, so plenty of interest if you are listening to the whole CD.
In
October
2019
Jim
Stott
visited
Argentina,
for
a
holiday
and
to
teach
a
workshop
in
Buenos
Aires.
Finding
himself
with
time
on
his
hands
during
the
Lockdowns
in
2020,
he
wrote
14
dances,
ranging
from
easy
to
intermediate
with
one
or
two
more
challenging.
There
are
7
strathspeys,
3
jigs,
3
reels
and
one
square-set
medley. Proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated to several Cancer Charities.
The
accompanying
CD
is
by
Susan
&
Shona
MacFadyen
with
Ewan
Galloway.
12
of
the
tracks
have
new
lead
tunes by Jim Stott, Scott Band, Bill Ewan, and Ewan Galloway with sheet music printed in the Dance Book.
Ewan Galloway
The Grove Collection of Scottish Country Dances Volume 2
Two
years
on
from
Volume
1,
Ewan
Galloway
has
been
back
into
his
recording
studio
to
produce
a
second
CD
of
18
tracks
to
include
5
reels,
a
hornpipe,
5
jigs,
a
medley,
5
strathspeys,
and
a
march
for
a
variety
of
dances
including
old
and
new
(soon
to
be?)
favourites,
three
of
which
have
the
instructions
in
the
CD
booklet.
This
one-man,
5
instrument
band
has,
once
again,
created
a
swinging sound with good even tempo ideal for dancing to.
This
book,
with
its
accompanying
music
recording
is
a
collection
of
dances
that
can
be
used
to
introduce
a
formation
to
a
class,
with
the
chosen
formation
being
the
only
unfamiliar
movement
in
the
dance.
Teaching
notes
and
Keith
Rose’s
diagram
are
included
for
each
dance,
conveniently
printed
on
facing
pages,
and
the
book
is
A5 and spiral-bound for easy handling when in a class situation.
FORMATION FOUNDATIONS
Most
of
the
dances
can
be
done
in
any
tempo
and
the
first
(Green)
CD,
recorded
by
Jim
Lindsay
&
his
Band,
has
tracks
for
15
of
the
dances,
though
each
track
may
be
used for other dances, as needed.
Jim
Lindsay
is
currently
working
on
the
Blue
CD
(17
tracks)
which
will
be
available
next year.
