The Nikko Falls - 8x32 bar Reel



I was delighted to be invited to teach the Nikko workshop in 2020.  Covid caused the workshop to be postponed twice.  Now in January 2024 the invitation will become reality but in Kamakura.  The suite of dances is written for both Nikko and Kamakura.

The Suite has eight dances, two reels, two jigs, three strathspeys and a medley.  The dances vary in difficulty from intermediate to the more challenging.  Some of the tunes have been compsoed by myself while the others are by Eddie Edmond, Allan W Smith, James W Coutts and Alistair Hunter.


My grateful thanks to to
Scott Band who scored the music and then recorded it as a solo artist.  The music is to be found at the back of the book 

Special thanks go to Charly Candia in Buenos Aires who took on the task of producing this beautiful book.

Please enjoy
