Description

Date not specially mentioned but the chairman in her foreword writes that T he Sutton Colfield s… c… d…Society was founded in June 1959 …(…). During the past twenty-one years it has grown and (…) To mark our coming of age we have produced this book of dances devised by Barry Priddey, who has been a member of the Society for the past six years and, since January 1980, our class teacher.

In our cpoy there are 10 dances. The nrs 11 and 12 are not included

CORRECTION I MEAN THE DANCES THE BALDOOSER AND THE LASSIE WI THE LINT WHIE LOCKS

Dear Wanda,

The two dances mentioned by name here are dances 11 and 12. However, the SCDDB seems to list the page numbers here. However, they do not co-inside with any page numbers in my copy, which are:

4 Whippety Stourie, 5 Kinnessburn Reel, 6 Heather Ale, 7 Corrievrechan, 8 Roses Of Carterhaugh, 10 The Gay Goshawk, 11 The Blue Falcon, 12 The Gaberlunzie, 13 Phyllis’s Fancy, 14 Something To Celebrate, 15 The Baldooser, 16 Lassie Wi’ The Lint White Locks

Is that congruent with your copy?

I think I might change the numbering to dance number as this is stated in the TOC. Roses Of Carterhaugh and The Gay Goshawk might have been swapped some time in the past to to bring the two pages of the former on opposite pages.

Best wishes, Heiko

NB as a loose page - somewhat smaller than A5 - is inserted in my copy a page with 10 diagrams (the figures are handdrawn imo)

in the diagram of Something to Celebrate (J32) AND on the contents page (32 bar Jig 4 couple dance) the J resp. jig is by hand changed into R resp. Reel.

I also saw that as extra info with whippety stoorie was added the rhyme above the description.

Kinnesb… also has some text: The Kinness will be familiar th those who have attended the R>S>C.D.S. Summer School as the burn which flows though St. Andrews.

Corrievr. has: Corrievrechan. Gaelic for Brecan’s Cauldron, is a whirlpool off the coast of Argyllshire, between the islands of Scarba and Jura. It is caused by the meeting of tides about a rock some 15 feet below the surface.

the gay goshawk: "O well’s me, my gay goss-hawk,

That he can speak and flee;

He’ll carry a letter to my love,

Bring back another to me."

roses of car…: "When she came to Carterhaugh,

Tam Lin was at the well;

And there she found his steed standing

But away was himsel’.

She hadna pu’ a double rose,

A rose but only twa:

TTill up thenstarte young Tam Lin,

Says, ‘Lady, thou’s pu’ nae mae."

The Blue Falcon: The Scottish folk tale, “The Adventure of Iain Direach” tells how Iain, aided by his friend, An Gille Mairtean, the fox, went in search of the blue falcon and performed well-nigh impossible tak in order to obtain it.

The Gaberlunzie: "Wi’ kauk and keel, I’ll win your bread,

And spindles and whorls for them wha need,

Whilk is a gentil trade indeed

The Gaberlunzie is carry - o."

Phyllis…: For Phyllis Wood, for eleven years class teacher of Sutton Coldfield Scottish Country Dance Society.

Something to ce… Twenty-one years of Scottish Country Dancing in Sutton Coldfield.
