I’m listed as a dance deviser, but when I devised the two dances listed, I went by Andrew Mills. For the last 40 years, I’ve only ever been known as Andy Mills. Any chance that the alias can be added to the person search? Thanks.

Dear Andy,
aliases unfortunately only exist for dances and tunes, but I have added the “Andy” to the name in quotes like in Andrew ‘Andy’ Mills I hope that is OK for you?
This is the way we chose to sort out Jimmy Hamilton and Stan Hamilton which have identical given names James Stanley Hamilton.
If preferred I could put one of the two names in brackets - another way used sometimes.
If you prefer another way, please write to me directly or post again through the issue interface. Replies to the interface email do not work.
Cheers, Heiko
