Gallagher's Rant

  1-4   1M cast two places WHILE 3L cast up two places, finishing 3L1M on the centre line of the set;

  5-8   3L1M turn by the left, each finishing in the other's original place;

  9-16 1L3M repeat bars 1-8 from their places (turning by the right);

17-24 2M4L repeat bars 1-8 from their places;

25-32 2L4M repeat bars 9-16 from their places;

33-36 3s4s (at top) 1s2s (at bottom) half rights and lefts;

37-40 4s3s2s parallel half reels of 3 on their own sides (3s, going down, giving right shoulders to 2s to start) WHILE 1s turn by the right, finishing 2s3s4s1s.

    -0   Before the chord, make eye contact with the dancer two places to the right or left of your partner; s/he will be your "partner" in bars 1-32 of every repeat.

  1-32 1s 4s cast only two places, not all the way to the other end.
3s always cast up, 2s always cast down, i.e., toward the more distant end.

33-36 Need to be awake.

37-40 Top 3 couples flow naturally into the half reels.

    -40 In all except the final repeat, 2M and 4L must be awake ready for the new repeat as the new 1M and 3L, respectively; note that 2M finishes facing out ready to cast but 4L finishes facing in.
