Dance Information

This jig, Staggering Hame, was first published in "Friday Fun Night At The Stagger Inn", a Book of 12 Dances with an accompanying CD by Ewan Galloway.

In the early days of the Covid pandemic, Ewan Galloway played live on Facebook regularly on Friday evenings. This evolved to become The Stagger Inn, a virtual online pub with many regulars from around the world.
