Issue 417: Bars 25-28

Object: The Belfast Hornpipe (Dance)
Submitter: Anselm Lingnau (anselm)
Assigned to: Heiko Schmidt
Priority: Normal
Disposition: Fixed
Description: According to the original leaflet, bars 25-28 of this dance are:

»1st couple set and cast down one place, 2nd up 3 & 4, first couple facing in and down, ready for BUTTERFLY TURNS.«

This means that Eric’s crib and Heiko’s diagram are in error :^(

My crib (probably used by Keith for his diagram) was derived from the online source given in SCDDB: a 2003 Ball Program in the Twin Cities. Perhaps that was wrong.

I am trying to contact Wesley Clindinning (now of RSCDS Oceanside, Vancouver Island) as he might have made two versions himself. Otherwise why would Mel Briscoe have made a variation on the variant with the “Double Butterfly Turns”, if that is not the official original?

I will keep you posted. Eric

Hi Eric,

any news on this matter? Any contact to Wesley Clindinning? I have an updated version of my diagram, but would prefer to know first which is actually correct ;)

Cheers, Heiko

I have the original description; Anselm is right. I have corrected my crib. Minicrib is correct. Heiko’s diagram still needs correcting on [24] and on [25-28]. Eric

The variant with “butterfly turns” both on 25-28 and 29-32 now has a new name “Wes Clindinning’s Hornpipe”, with Mel Briscoe as the deviser. Issue solved. Eric
