GUEST Bridge of Athlone dance origins (8) RE: Bridge of Athlone dance origins 27 Jan 24

The Bridge of Athlone is a ceili dance isn't it? Walls of Limerick, Siege of Ennis etc., one of those. They were invented by the Gaelic League as proper, true, native dxnces to replace the sets/quadrilles, foreign stuff. Makey uppys, in other words. They were popular in their time and this one appears to have crossed the ocean for a life as contredance.
