Description

Hi Anselm, or other maintainer (? :-),

I’m not sure why we reference the Edge group for this dance, since no further details are available in the open spirit that otherwise pervades Scottish Country Dancing.

Currently My.Strathspey (apparently; forgive if otherwise but my search comes up only with tunes and the Edge group reference) has neither crib nor diagram for this dance.

Both are available; can they be added please? here’s Charles Upton’s crib FOURSOME REEL (AND HALF REEL OF TULLOCH) (M-(S48+R88)) 2 Couples (facing) Highland setting throughout

Strathspey 1- 8 All dance reel of 4 across Ladies passing LSh in centre to start and end with Men BtoB in the middle facing opposite partners 9-16 All set 17-24 All dance reel of 4 giving RSh to opposite partner and end with Men in middle facing own partners 25-32 All set 33-48 Repeat bars 1-16

Reel (Reel of Tulloch) 1- 8 All dance round to left (many variations) and end with Men BtoB in centre facing own partners 9-16 All set 17-24 All Tulloch turn own partners and end with Ladies facing each other in centre (backs to own partner) 25-32 Ladies set 33-40 Ladies Tulloch turn and end in centre facing opposite partners 41-48 All set 49-56 All Tulloch turn opposite partners and end with Men in centre facing each other 57-64 Men set 65-72 Men Tulloch turn and end facing own partners 73-80 All set to own partners 81-88 All Tulloch turn own partners and end beside partners on opposite sides

Keith Rose has done a diagram (seen here: http://www.scottish-country-dancing-dictionary.com/krdiagram/foursome-and-half-reel-of-tulloch.html); can we have that added, too, please?

Many thanks & happy dancing

Best Regard

Matthew
