For Ashley Weller, with many thanks for organising the Gay Gordons expert evenings.
Ashley’s husband Steve does not dance, so Ashley travels to dance events with past and present members of the Gay Gordons who are sometimes assumed to be her partner and whom she collectively refers to as her extra husbands. In this dance 1st woman goes on promenades with other men while her partner is solo for the central 16 bars.
A recording by Ian Robertson of the music for this dance is available via https://my.strathspey.org/u/murrough/recording/.
