Pretty sure it was written by Damaris Hermey - not Kermey!

Minicrib has “Hirmey” as the deviser’s name.

The database has the persons “Kermey”, “Damaris Herney” and “Leslie Kerney”.

Before we can adjust this entry we must know the exact name. Does anyone know (of) her (him)?

Can someone please tell us where the dance was devised or where it has been danced?

Is there an original description somewhere?

Needs help. Eric

We used to all dance together at Dundee University in the 90s. Damaris wrote this dance for Stephen and Rebecca Barr’s wedding - can’t remember the exact year. Not sure if we danced it after the wedding itself! She also wrote the dance for our wedding (1996). We recently dusted it off and danced it in Vienna: http://my.strathspey.org/dd/dance/16938/

All the best, Robert

Thanks Robert.

The deviser’s name has been changed to Damaris Herney. Please raise a noise if there is a spelling mistake (Hirney; Hermey, Hirmey??). I assume Minicrib will correct the devsier’s name on it’s crib too.

The “person” Kermey had no links or information remaining, and has been deleted. Fixed. Eric

Thanks, Eric. The surname is Hermey (it’s German) and it’s now correct.

Cheers, R!
