Dance Information

This reel was created in 2006 with the deviser conferring the honorary title of Sir onto Barry Pipes in recognition of not only the role of Barry as Chairman of the Petronella group (Toronto) and his dedication to the smooth running of the group, but as her "knight in shining armour".

At the time of devising, Barry was retiring from the Chairmanship, but leaving behind the benefit of his expertise and the prospect of the group's long continuance.

The video shown below is of The Petronella Scottish Country Dance Group dancing "A Tribute to Scotland" (at RSCDS Toronto's Festival of Dance in May 2010) with all the happiness that Scottish country dancing confers.

We are not sure which of the dancers, if any, is the redoubtable Sir Barry but would be pleased to be enlightened.
