For
as
long
as
they
can
remember,
dance
teachers
have
asked
Chris
&
Julie
whether
their
next
recording
would
include
short
tracks,
either
for
short
dances
or
for
practising
longer
dances
with
fewer
couples.
They
have
always
included
a
few,
but
with
the
growing
popularity
of
short
but
interesting
dances, and smaller classes, they decided to make this the focus of this CD.
The
20
tracks
(plus
a
final
waltz)
include
as
many
of
the
common
permutations
and
combinations
of
length
and
style
as
possible,
with
all
tracks
intended
for
use
when
‘any
good
tune’
is
required.
As
on
their
previous
CDs,
there
are
tunes
from
Shetland,
Orkney,
Ireland,
England,
Canada
and
America;
some old, some new (including 15 by Chris) and all played in the Band’s own inimitable style.
