It was bound to happen, but a couple of people have reported mistakes.
The worst one is the dance Twenty-Fourth of June, by Steve Schnur.
The dance I gave is a perfectly good dance, but it is not the version he wrote. The
dance he wrote ended:-
B2: Circle four once; and a quarter more, and California twirl with your partner
what makes it worse is that having tried both versions I think his version is better than the one
I learnt and had put in the book.
In the PAT testing section I said that a plug-cum-transformer doesn't need "testing"; of course I meant that it doesn't need testing with a fancy testing machine. Obviously it needs "testing" in the sense of looking it over for a broken case with interesting bits of bare metal creeping out. But you wouldn't be using something in that state anyway would you?
An electical engineer has (quite correctly) complained to me about my claim that you shouldn't run microphone cables very far because they have weedy signals. In fact if you know what you are doing (and the keywords are "balanced" and "low impedance") then you can run microphone signals miles -- how do you think your telephone talks to the exchange? However the advice is sound: keep cable runs short if you can.
The Appleings (who run the folk sales I mention) have moved their mail address to Derek-Ann@folksales.co.uk.uk (delete the spare uk - it's just there to confuse the spam harvesters)
In the index on the back page (but not on the page describing the dance) I say that Dorset Four Hand Reel is for 4 couples. Oops, I mean 2 couples. Similarly I claim in the index that Shrewsbury Lasses is longways rather than for 3 couples.
My explanation of Escort to Leicester is slightly unclear. After the right hand turn it should flow into a hey passing right with the person you just turned.
The bibliography claims that Newcastle is recorded on PLA. It lies. However is is on the recently re-released Playford Pops CD, which has lots of other useful Playford tracks, and also on English Echoes
