It looks like they skipped the advance and cross over move near the beginning of the second figure. Is that a normal variation?

Either way, wonderful dancing!

@adrianobradaigh Adrian- I met your father many years ago before the 1978 fleadh. In 2002 I stayed with the late Fred Rice whom I am sure you knew. I live in Indiana but was wondering if you still have copies of your dad's book of his compositions. I would love to purchase a copy if possible.

It's like a video game.

The mountains of pomerey. A rebel and love song set in County Tyrone.

It is very obvious that the only dancing you have ever done is with the pen you write with! This was a brilliant performance with excellent dancers!!!

[Ciaran08]

anyone got a name for that march they play as the dancers come on ?

[MANF0X]

Perfect timing! Perfect dancing!... The BEST!

That reel is called 'The Reel of Sceachóg' and was written by John Brady from Co. Offaly. To be fair it's often called Siobhán O'Donnell's too but now you have the right name!
