Written for my daughter Lorna on her 21st birthday, and first performed at her 21st birthday dance with Lindsay Weir playing. This dance was inspired by a variation of The Flying Scotsman which my wife Caroline came across, where the dancing couple changes sides when heading down the middle so everyone gets to dance it from both sides of the set. One phrase I associate with Lorna (apparently coined by her friend Neelu) is “sushi rolls, not gender roles” so I thought a dance where everyone dances on both sides of the set might suit her well. When I discussed possible tunes with Lindsay, she said she had recently worked up a set of new tunes with The Inevitable Journey by Robert Nairn as first tune, and pointed me at her Facebook post where she plays it (https://www.facebook.com/lindsay.weir.92/videos/445522507419551/). It seemed to really suit the dance.
