Dear Orly,

I have spoken to Alan who is just back from a holiday in France and he sent 
me the original of his dance.

He also said -  "You may care to explain that I composed this dance for a 
new dance competition held by the St. Andrew Society (London).  It seemed to 
go much better as a jig rather than as a reel, but as I could find no 
recording of a 7-sequence Scottish Jig, I used the recording of the "Boys of 
Oak Hill" by The Ranchers in their EFDSS (no 5) record.  The dance remains a 
firm favourite for the St Andrew Society because it iseasily remembered and 
is useful at the start of an evening when attendance is rather limited."
