Other Notes	Cheshire Rounds was created for a visit to the International Letterkenny Folk Festival held in Co Donegal, Ireland in 1986 by "Inakettle Morris", a side was drawn from Cheshire sides (Bolin, Ringheye, and Earl of Stamford's) to get enough dancers to go. It's a development of a Playford dance of the same name - the first 2 figures are a reasonable interpretation of the vague Playford description. After Letterkenny, the dance developed in 2 directions. Bollin Morris have this version, and the Earl of Stamford's version was taken to Australia by Paul and Leslie Carr where it developed as a related but different dance of the same name (known in England as Molonglo).
