A satisfied customer

Last weekend High Jinks played at Mellor church hall to help the Mellor Rose Queen fund raise for the Air Ambulance.
The Rose Queen had sold tickets to many of her friends, young and old joined in the dancing with enthusiasm and High Jinks were on top form.

We have just received this email

"Dear Kate and band,


I just want to say a huge thanks for performing at out Barndance a few weeks ago.  We raised over £800 which is a fantastic amount.  

The feed back we have had has been fantastic, especially concerning your band and caller.  I have already passed your contact details on to a few people"

Two more bands

In June I called at a wedding with Mouse's Nest, a Manchester based band. I was pleased to be asked, as one of the members used to play in Boldwood and I had enjoyed dancing to them at Chester Festival last year. The reception was at Adlington Hall, so no difficulty finding it as we go next door to the village hall to dance at Adlington Folk Dance club. A good evening.

Then this Saturday I went to Walmesley near Bolton to call at the celebration of a wedding, with the Millstone Band. Another great evening, dancers and band were a pleasure to work with.

In between was another birthday party with Don and Three Point Turn.

"Family celebrations"

Among the birthdays and weddings that we celebrate it was good to call for a dance with Fiddlestrum for the 30th birthday of the son of Mike, one of the musicians.

High Jinks band played for member Tony's wedding reception in August, he found time to join in some of the tunes.
