-  The setting should be smooth right-left-right, left-right-left. The jig
should be danced with a skip-change step.

-  Liz Felton commissioned Colin Hume to write this dance to celebrate the
retirement of her husband John. The story line is of John's travels taking
him to the far end of Britain and including some Scottish dancing, but
ultimately returning to dance with Liz. Dances from Barnes Three Assembled
