Notes
1
The neutral couple at the top should cross over during A1-4 and join in the dance at A5 as a 1st couple continuing as a 1st couple until B5 when to keep moving they can turn each other to the end of the B-music. They will remain neutral throughout the C msuic. The neutral LADY will join in the D music by setting to the man below her and joining in the star.

The tune may be recognised as the 'Royal Albert' (Community Dance Manual 7) with the exception that the C-music is not repeated.

Michael Barraclough says "Wilson provided 3 different sets of figures to go to the music, none of which was used by Ken Sheffield. Instead, he has collapsed the triple minor dance to duple minor, used some of the figures provided by Wilson and also used others which were not suggested by Wilson".
