Dance Information
The crib notes provide information stating that the dance serves as a homage to Angela and Jimmy Reid, residents of a residence named 'Monymusk' close to Basingstoke.Angela is actively involved in instructing the local Scottish group, while Jimmy brings his experience as a former piper of the Black Watch. Notably, the original musical composition for the dance was created by their daughter, Sheena, a recognized member of the Frank Reid Band.
