The last dance Roy Clowes devised before his death.
According to the notes “the name of the dance refers to the annual Town Game in Jedburgh, where the young men form two teams, the UPPIES (i.e. those from the UPPER end of the town) and the DOONIES (i.e. those from the lower end of the town), whose object is to carry the ball to the opponents’ goal. The rules are mysterious and very flexible.”
