For Chrissie Osborne on her 70th birthday

Devised by Robert Senior with much assistance from Margaret, Eileen, Amanda , Oliver and John.

This dance was devised for Chrissie Osborne for her 70th birthday - for which she held a magnificent Party Dance, with music by a six-piece Nicol McLaren & the Glencraig Band. A wonderful occasion befitting a wonderful lady - and over £1200 was raised for Cancer UK. The recommended recording for this dance is Marian Anderson’s Set of Jigs on the Belfast Diamond Jubilee CD. This set includes tunes which Marian plays for Father Connelly’s Jig and bars 9–24 bear many similarities to movements in Father Connelly’s Jig (one of Chrissie’s favourite dances).
