Notes by the deviser:
Devised 26/7/2017, after re-reading Hay’s Australian Ladies.
Alec was a truly fine devisor of dances, and I have incorporated modified versions of two of his ideas in the above. Meeting set and shuttle is one of them, and I introduced this formation in The Fyreladdie, the modified tourbillon is similar to one I first used in Tofino Strathspey.
Recommended tune is Davy Nick Nack played ABAB and a good recording is by Don Bartlett in In Triumph. If the dance is performed as the alternative 4x32H I would suggest the recording of Angus Fitchet,
The Legendary Angus Fitchet, track 10 (Set of Hornpipes), or Bobby Brown Celtic Fire in the Music Set of Reels 5, track 4, CD 2, (The Fiddler’s Contest, etc.
