The dance "Midnight Oil" was devised by John Drewry and presented to Mary Prentice whilst on one  of
the  winter holidays.  Mary used to frequently burn the midnight oil.  As the dance starts in a very
similar manner to that in Lothian Lads, I decided that the tune be written with  the  first  8  bars
showing a similarity to Lothian Lads.  The dance was first danced on 1st Feb 1993 in the Ledra Beach
Hotel, Cyprus.
