Although pretty much strictly for dancers such is the tune selection and the rather nimble playing that this might just make for pleasant listening for many folk.
A dozen dances in tempo (never liked the word 'strict') played by fiddle and piano.
Instructions come in the booklet for "The Dancing Years" - a 1 x 88 Reel.
Have a listen.
