| + | Simple but popular country dance with its origin possibly in Ireland. The tune is Irish and known from at least the 1820s.\\ | ||
| + | It seems to have been a popular folk dance collected from areas of Scotland in the early 20th C. | ||
| + | The ‘gander’ reference is derogatory, intimating Thady is of ‘loose character’, a flirt, and this is represented in the dance when the top lady beckons the men to follow her in a merry dance. The dance also includes a simple strip the willow finale. \\ | ||
| + | (It was erroneously associated with ‘The Irish Trot’ of the turn of the 17th/18th century and recorded as danced at a wedding at the ‘Rocks’ in Sydney in 1803, but it is now known the Irish Trot is a totally different dance of triple minor progression as distinct from the simple more modern country dance progression of Thady.) | ||
