There are 2 bridges: At the end of 2nd wall you will be facing the back
Dance the bridge which is part of the dance from count 31 to 69 that will take you to (3.00) o’clock to start the dance again.
At the end of the 5th wall you will be facing (9.00) o’clock, dance the bridge again and that will take you to (6.00) o’clock to start the dance again.
At the end of the 8th wall facing the front the music and song slows right down then stops, but wait for him to sing again.
You can still dance the last wall but very slowly, turn ¼ R to the front to finish.
Just enjoy the bagpipes.
