The Magnificent Seven was first called by its author, Bob Archer, at
Halsway Manor, Crowcombe, Somerset some time in the 1980's. The musicians
were Chris & Julie Dewhurst and they used the tune, "Those Magnificent Men
in Their Flying Machines". I know that because I was there! I don't
regard it as a particularly difficult dance but it might be difficult for
those who only dance contra.
Incidentally I was at Halsway last weekend and Bob's dad, Alan, was also
there.

That's pretty difficult.

I think the most difficult dance I have ever
danced is a 7 couple
double square with one couple in both. I unfortunately don’t
remember its
name.
Sounds like Bob Archer's The Magnificent Seven.
Possibly called by me at Breaking-up Thanksgiving back in 1993!
Cheers
Elmo
