As our stock has grown, a reorganisation of this area has become necessary and this front page will show information about recent additions and special offers, with further details to be found in one of two new sections: CDs, and their corresponding Dance Books if available Go here for The Sunday Class CDs and/or their Dance Books, collections from Belfast, Leeds, Sheffield, Stirling, Banffshire, Dunfermline, Newcastle, Nova Scotia RSCDS Branches etc. - most of these offer a reduced price to buy the set - and also in this section will be all the stocked ‘individual’ CDs, including all available Marian Anderson’s recordings, Scotch Mist, The Chris Dewhurst Band, Ian Robertson, plus many others. Dance Books In this section are details of the growing number of Dance Books available, for which there is no specified CD, for instance all 9 of Francis Walduck’s books, including the last 3 produced by Queensland Branch of his previously unpublished 40+ dances. From both sections you will arrive at the familiar shop ‘counter’ with its sporrans waiting to be filled, so you will still be able to do all your shopping in one place, there will just be less detailed information there.

Welcome to The Sunday Class Shop

Newcastle upon Tyne & District RSCDS 70th Anniversary 1950 - 2020 16 Dances by Sheila Trafford with CD by Marian Anderson & Iain MacPhail & their Bands

With publication (and all celebrating!) delayed for 2 years by the pandemic, this long-anticipated project offers a complete range of dances, both in terms of tempo and standard, with much for musicians too - there is sheet music for all the original tunes, by at least 7 well-known musicians. There are 8 tracks each by Marian Anderson’s Scottish Dance Band and Iain MacPhail & his Scottish Dance Band mixed throughout the CD, so plenty of interest if you are listening to the whole CD.

In October 2019 Jim Stott visited Argentina, for a holiday and to teach a workshop in Buenos Aires. Finding himself with time on his hands during the Lockdowns in 2020, he wrote 14 dances, ranging from easy to intermediate with one or two more challenging. There are 7 strathspeys, 3 jigs, 3 reels and one square-set medley. Proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated to several Cancer Charities.

The accompanying CD is by Susan & Shona MacFadyen with Ewan Galloway. 12 of the tracks have new lead tunes by Jim Stott, Scott Band, Bill Ewan, and Ewan Galloway with sheet music printed in the Dance Book.

Ewan Galloway The Grove Collection of Scottish Country Dances Volume 2

Two years on from Volume 1, Ewan Galloway has been back into his recording studio to produce a second CD of 18 tracks to include 5 reels, a hornpipe, 5 jigs, a medley, 5 strathspeys, and a march for a variety of dances including old and new (soon to be?) favourites, three of which have the instructions in the CD booklet. This one-man, 5 instrument band has, once again, created a swinging sound with good even tempo ideal for dancing to.

This book, with its accompanying music recording is a collection of dances that can be used to introduce a formation to a class, with the chosen formation being the only unfamiliar movement in the dance. Teaching notes and Keith Rose’s diagram are included for each dance, conveniently printed on facing pages, and the book is A5 and spiral-bound for easy handling when in a class situation. FORMATION FOUNDATIONS Most of the dances can be done in any tempo and the first (Green) CD, recorded by Jim Lindsay & his Band, has tracks for 15 of the dances, though each track may be used for other dances, as needed. The second (Blue) CD (17 tracks) is now available and both be purchased separately or in a set. 32 Dances to Introduce Formations

After the Rain from RSCDS Belfast Branch. !0 tracks by Marian Anderson’s Scottish Dance Band for dances in the free-to-download publication from 2021, plus two for Home to Whitsome (Lucy Mulholland) and Glenoe (Daphne Jones).

All Sets Complete! LEONARD BROWN & his Scottish Country Dance Band

This CD, containing 17 tracks for well-known dances, plus a final polka, is a must- have for anyone wanting music for a class or event where live music is not available. Leonard Brown is a very accomplished musician, and this Band, featuring Jim Lindsay on harmony accordion, 2 fiddles, piano, double bass and drums has produced a modern sound with very consistent tempos, and some excellent tune combinations.
