This dance was devised by Keith Leedham, who married Jimmy Allan's Daughter (aka his wife Marilyn!) and it is to be danced at Rayleigh and District Caledonian Society's Golden Anniversary Dance on 9th November, 2013. Sadly the society is disbanding after this dance, as active dancers are few. The ‘Whisky Chaser’ refers to Jimmy Allan’s favoured tipple not his daughter’s!
